links (almost a issue..)

[dubiouscript]

after finding
https://github.com/TiddlyWikiLinks/TiddlyWikiLinks

it occured to me that it might be advantagous to have some kind of
'content type' - https://tiddlywiki.com/#ContentType
included for 'links' and perhaps other URI's

...i found some discussion elsewhere of what type could/should be used for links
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18459261/mime-media-type-content-type-for-representing-a-url

aditionaly thaught exporting .desktop / .lnk . files , could be usefull ??

perhaps even importing .desktop / .lnk might be posible
potentaly some other "bookmark" silo formats imports could be suported

vaguely related
https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/362021/how-to-convey-with-an-uri-what-is-content-type-of-the-resource

digging around looking into (what to me appears) related this and that (in this case uuid/guid)
i found this reply to an intresting discusion of an aparently recurring topic
https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/Y1V7oyBLpSs/m/sKHnMuLpCwAJ
wrt the use of titles ( internaly and as just displaying a title) , and posible display of alternative text

any one else given any thaught to a 'type' for links or similar?

and or

do any one know how the source of the 'content type' dropdown list is populated

this was the only contender i found after searching !
presumable it should be posible to just add a new 'new-type' to the list ?

I'm not really sure, what your expected usecase is? Could you be more specific here?

If we would add this format as a TW mime-type we will also register it. So the core needs to know what to do with it, eg: if you drag and drop import it.

We will need a possibility to export tiddlers it as .uri .... May be ?!?

I think it would be OK to use a mime-type for URIs ... In the spec the suggested file extension is .uri

• It is allowed to add more than 1 URL into a file.
• 1 line per url
• it seems we have to us CRLF as a line terminator
• lines starting with # is a comment line

Commenting to follow. This has been on my brain again this week (I just used debugging tools to pull 780 tabs from my Android's Chrome browser & dumped it to a .json file on my laptop). I think an MIME type is the right place to start.
