This change makes URLs in LXMF message content clickable in the Sideband UI (Android + desktop):
Detects plain URLs in message text:
http://…
https://…
www.…
Wraps them in Kivy [ref=URL]URL[/ref] markup before applying multilingual_markup.
Wires the message MDLabel to call a handler when a [ref] is clicked.
Opens http:// / https:// links in the system browser via webbrowser.open.
Existing [ref=…] markup in messages is preserved as‑is and not double‑wrapped.
I was not able to fully rebuild an Android APK in my environment due to unrelated Android toolchain / python-for-android / codec2 build issues.
The feature and tests above were validated on Linux desktop using the same Kivy/KivyMD code paths that are used on Android.
