Feature Request: some kind of permalink for entries - SparkleShare URI Scheme #1824

It would great if there was a way to pass an "url" between SparkleShare users that could point to the right file/folder copy on the local SparkleShare instance

Say you have Linux users at: /home/usera/SparkleShare/git.internal.companya.co.uk/foo/bar/amazing-slide-deck.pdf /home/userb/encrypted-home/SS/git.internal.companya.co.uk/foo/bar/amazing-slide-deck.pdf Windows and MacOS wherever their files might leave...

But the local SparkleShare instance should always know where "/foo/bar/amazing-slide-deck.pdf" lives.

I do not know if there is an easy way to register a custom (URI) Scheme across all the platform SparkleShare supports but it would be great to be able to link sparkleshare://foo/bar/amazing-slide-deck.pdf between our users.

love this idea!

Since URL and folder names may be different across setups too, we can use the ID in the .sparkleshare file for the link creation. But I guess writing the link by hand should be easy too.
