[Enhancement] [Link Utilities] Custom search URLs, opened in browser #41

Closed chocolatechipcats closed 1 year ago

chocolatechipcats commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Mostly the inability to add IGDB links directly. This would somewhat improve the workflow of adding via bookmarklet.

Describe the solution you'd like

The option to add custom search query URLs based on GameMetadata., which would then open in browser. At the very least, the game title, but I can think of usecases where developer/publisher would be helpful.

Example: IGDB link, create a custom search URL https://www.igdb.com/search?type=1&q={Name} Run it on a game called "Hero of the Kingdom" would produce https://www.igdb.com/search?type=1&q=hero+of+the+kingdom Then I would select the correct game from the search results opened in browser and use the bookmarklet.

Thanks in advance

I got the idea from the settings of the Vivaldi browser, where I have several custom search engines (including IGDB).

For that purpose there's already the addon "Search Collection" by darklinkpower. It only supports the game name yet, but I think it would be better to open an issue for darklinkpower to add more fields to their addon.
