A few things about this change:

   1. Previously, for nodes within the same Leo file, I could truncate 
   everything before the `#' and the right-click `Open URL' would take me 
   there. That no longer works. That's not too big deal, I can now prepend the 
   `#' with unl:// and it works (except for no. 2 below).
   2. If I replace file:// with unl:// the right-click menu option is no 
   longer available. Can that be added back?
   3. The address in the bottom bar still uses `file://...' when I toggle 
   in UNL mode (that's where I usually get the node address, not sure if 
   there's a quicker way). It seems that it would make more sense for that to 
   be `unl://...'
   
Generally, I like the change; maybe it will make cross file linking easier.
