[Feature Request] Support for "file:///" URLs in "Quick Links" widget

[LifeAdventurer]

Currently, the widget only supports https:// URLs, which limits its usability when working with local files. I often need to reference local documentation, configuration files, and other resources stored on my machine. Allowing file:/// URLs would greatly enhance the flexibility and usefulness of the widget.

For that matter, browser config pages like about:processes do not work as Quick Links either. My expectation was that anything that could be entered as an URL would work.

I agree with that expectation, but unfortunately, Firefox has strict security restrictions that prevent extensions from redirecting to privileged URLs - this is a browser limitation that can't be worked around.

I am not a maintainer of this project, but I do have my own fork here that has a fix for this issue on chromium coming in a release very soon.

Thanks for explaining that, I have to admit the limitation makes sense.
