From @djsavvy 's suggestion, "just a little program to redirect urls via Xdg might do it"

The Problem It Fixes Seamless integration between streamed apps and regular apps.

Feature Implementation See above

Thought: Maybe best to redirect URL to default browser on their system, and hopefully one day that default browser is the Fractal streamed chrome?

To clarify/add some context to the quote that "a little program to redirect urls via Xdg might do it" --- that would be the server-side that intercepts web browser-opening requests and instead notifies the protocol server about it. The server would send it to the client, which would open the URL on the host machine natively.

100% agreed.

Bumping this slightly for non-browser apps as this was something requested by one of our demo users.

Closing in favor of #963 because that's better scoped.
