Taking this out of the discussion on new viewers...

Good points about Cinder's x-grid-<http://opensimulator.org/pipermail/opensim-dev/2018-December/info://,/>info:// proposal and work... what is the current status of that Cinder? I just did some tests and the x-grid-<http://opensimulator.org/pipermail/opensim-dev/2018-December/info://,/>info:// test links I set up do work with the latest Firestorm 5.1.7.55786 m in the address bar but are not linked for clicking in Chat/IM at present.

hop:// (in Firestorm at least) continues to work pretty well when shared in Chat/IMs and/or used in the top address bar... but not in the map too where http://gridname:port[/region] is required.

Just to pop some links and posts from 2013-2017 about this topic here in a handy form...

Cinder Roxley is developing a multi-grid teleport addressing scheme that works in a similar fashion to hop:// in that it can be used to launch or communicate with a running viewer and teleport to a specific grid, region and location, as well as run certain app features. It is being implemented initially in the <https://alchemyviewer.org/pages/downloads.html>Alchemy Viewer. More details of the protocol are available at
