Is it possible to open web links in wsl? So far I can bind .html but not https:/xx.xx.xx Thanks

It is possible to implement but I am not able to release an update for a while. Also, since every browser runs on every os, I am hesitant if this is actually useful XD I'll leave this open if anything develops but I do not think I will add it. (Unless a super important use case comes up haha)

Actually... if you want to get hacky. Maybe you can try doing this XD. Make an association for a filetype like this .? and point it to a browser in linux. Those characters should be ignored by the browser or website. Then run oiw.exe (url).? (without parentheses). This is hacky like I said but may work haha

But at this point you could also just run wsl.exe firefox url (:

Fair enough. Understand your pain. I will give it a go.
