Can not be used with .url type of shortcuts #22

basically the title. when for example you take a url from chrome, highlight it and move it to your desktop it will create a shortcut to visit the site. sadly open with ++ does not work with these kinda data types. would be really nice to include that

It does not make sense to me, maybe try to elaborate.

the following video doesnt end at 1:03 😅, i was just reading that warning (and forgot to keep my mouse moving to show continuity). the video has more part to show, please watch it complete

i hope the following video helps in showing following things and thus making the matter much more clear:

how is that .url file created
how does that open

I think Windows does not show any shell extension when right-clicking a .url file, there is nothing I could do against that.
