Add option to expand shortened URLs #12

Open giovdk21 opened 2 months ago

giovdk21 commented 2 months ago

Background Many sites (e.g TikTok, etc.) now generate a shortened version of the URL which contains / hide the tracking IDs

Another example is the Google app which now by default uses search.app URLs.

Describe the solution you'd like

When adding a custom rule there could be an option to "expand" the shortened URL and potentially a second option to re-run all the rules again on the expanded URL.

Additional context
Similar library I used in the past (although this one is in Ruby - just for reference) that demonstrate the concept: https://github.com/altmetric/embiggen
