Description of the new feature / enhancement

Some companies use cloud services to distribute their products to the public. There exists no permanent linking service for these types of platforms. ItchIO is another one of these platforms that do not include permanent linking.

Proposed technical implementation details

Add a headless browser to click download and load it and support these types of links.
