Whitelisting spotify links doesn't work sensibly

When accessing Spotify via web e.g. from twitter postings, the link supplied to the client contains a custom url defined by Spotify, e.g. spotify:artist:7K4k5g1ie2qHIH42UMNO7n or spotify:track:4IoqGTH2D6zMrGzg9gW0DL
requestpolicy distinguishes the links completely so each link has to be whitelisted individually, it would be better if it were possible to whitelist e.g. spotify:*

the same issue happens with itunes links (itms:) and probably all kinds of custom links (magnet, irc etc)

I don't have time to check this now, but my hope is that RP 1.0's ability to specify URL schemes in rules will allow one to whitelist requests to/from spotify: or itms:. If you want to try it out: https://www.requestpolicy.com/1.0.html

@alexlehm: Release 1.0.beta8.2 adds the spotify scheme to its temporary scheme-whitelist.
