Add support for discord:// protocol in URL field of an embed object.

[ippess]

Description:

Currently only http(s) protocols are supported URL field of an embed object. It would be grerat if we also could use links such as "discord://./users/{ID}" to open user profile when clicked. Support for this schema was added to buttons some time ago and allows for many great features to be implemented into bots mainly oriented around UX.

Alternatives Considered

It is possible to use the links with https://discord.com instead of discord://-, but they open a new browser tab, instead of executing the action in the client.
Using button attached to the message is an option but takes up more space and using built-in user field inside the embed seems like much neater solution

with how unreliable the discord protocol is and how it’s been unsupported for years (and the lack of mobile support), I do not think Discord should add support for linking it anywhere else. supporting it in components was a bad idea and should not have been added, but fortunately I have not seen any bots use that.

Instead, Discord should properly route discord.com links in-app so nobody needs to think about using the discord protocol.
