Describe your suggested feature

The app is designed about URLs (http or https) and it is configured as such.
However, if you add any other scheme to the manifest, like <data android:scheme="market" />, the app reacts to those links and even shows the list of other valid apps that can open them.

Not only that, but with the power of the modules (mainly patterns) you can create custom rules to convert them to other urls, or even uris.

The idea is to add a different intent filter (or multiple) with some of the most common non-http schemes, to allow using the app for them too. The ability to enable/disable those extra intent filters is probably necessary too.

Some modules may need to be tweaked (for example the hosts module reports an error about missing host) but the app seems to be already fully functional.

[Note: I don't think there is a way to allow 'all schemas', or even to create dynamic intent filters, but that would be even better]

Describe alternatives you've considered for your suggested feature

An alternative would be to create a separate app that reacts to them and 'resends' them, but that app will need to either hardcode the UrlCheck package (like what LinkSheetCompat does) or include most of the features already.

Other details

This suggestion was sent to me from an email. Thanks!
