Feature Request: Android Market Lings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would it be possible to intercept whenever the user clicks on a direct Android 
Market link (market://) (or however they're formated) and off to open it via 
chrome-to-phone.

1: That's supposed to be Links not lings.
2: This isn't supposed to be a defect.

This feature will soon be supported by the Firefox plugin (currently a proof of 
concept exists in the repository.)

The latest release of sendtophone for Firefox v1.0 supports "market://" and 
other protocols. See http://url.ie/70yo

As the Chrome extensions framework does not currently support registering 
protocol handlers this issue will remain open.

Well, this is a bummer. I'd been using FoxToPhone for some time now and enjoyed 
the auto-firing on market:// links. So much in fact that I just finished 
building a new app embed/shortcode featuring the market links because I thought 
all users would be able to send them straight to the phone.

So this is definitely a Chrome issue? Meaning we are just sitting on our hands 
here?

Support for market:// is awesome. Would it be possible to support 
http://market.android.com/ links as well? (If so, you would want to explicitly 
exclude http://market.android.com/publish, for Android application developers.)
