Bug: URL Links are not encoded, e.g. a 'ç' should be converted to %E7 #158

Good evening Thanks a lot for your great and useful work!, I support some small Non Profit Organizations which are very happy with your TiddlyDesktop. They have

a probably small issue with URL Links to files containing special characters like ç or Ü:

The user writes this into tifflywiki as a link to the File Der Überrest.pdf in the subdirectory CH: [[Der Überrest|CH\Der Überrest.pdf]]

If they click to the Link, nothing happens: the file will not be opened.

Solution: TiddlyDesktop should encode the special characters in the URL before it is opened:

If the User replaces the Ü by the URL Encoding %DC: [[Der Überrest|CH\Der %DCberrest.pdf]]

Then, a click to the link opens the file :-)

Thanks a lot for your support!, kind regards, Thomas

Is there no solution to this issue? It would be very important for users from German-, French- and Spanish-speaking (and more) countries! It would be great if something could be done about it!
