Actually, the "problem" seems to be more about "how to specify a network
location" such that Leo can open it in a consistent way.
Leo's parsing for @url uses urlparse.urlparse(), and deals with strings
like I list above - "file:///path/to/file etc.
And I can open File Explorer at the expected place via
os.startfile("\\\\winlnx\\projects"), for instance
But how to link these two - to use an @url-like scheme to tell Leo that
some version of that - say "\\winlnx\projects" should be opened like that.
One could concoct a special rule for Leo to use when parsing a URL whose
'netloc' field looks like this ... but I can well imagine Edward not liking
that very much.
For now I am going to create a button command so that after selecting the
name of the path with the cursor, the button runs os.startfile() using that
text. Let's see how useful that is.
