Hi,

Great extension but I have an issue:

I would like to right click on a link and instead of Open in Browser, I would like my Android Phone handle the link and open it with the respective app.
For example: I would like to right click on this kind of link (lightning:lnbc1100n1p0spszep..) This is a Bitcoin Lightning Invoice (Example how to generate this invoice: https://strike.me/strike).
So when I go to Open in Browser, appear a https link and open in Browser instead open my Bitcoin wallet:

Unfortunately this would have to be done in kdeconnect-android, since we don't control what Android does with links once it receives them. You can open a new bug at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi

Hi @andyholmes on Kde Connect I opened the issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423859
And someone commented with:

I don't see kdeconnect-android doing anything wrong, so it's either:

  1. The desktop side prepends https:// to the URL before sending
  2. The receiving Android app is not set up properly

It looks like we do amend links after all, I will have a look into whether this is for good reason.

Hi, thanks. When the extension will be updated for Chrome or Gnome?

The web extension gets updated very rarely, as it doesn't really contain any functionality. The GNOME extension is updated when there's been a reasonable amount of progress or a critical fix pushed.

It's pretty straighforward to build from git though:
