Open Links from E-Mails in electron-mattermost about desktop HOT 9 CLOSED

No. OS will open a http(s) link with your default web browser.

Possibly following steps can realize that, but implementation will be complex.

1. Register electron-mattermost as default web browser for http(s).
2. The app check whether the link is mattermost url.
3. If it's mattermost, open it in correct tab.
4. If not, open it in your web browser. Unfortunately, you have to specify web browser manually because the default browser is electron-mattermost in step 1.

Besides, all http(s) link will be opened via electron-mattermost everytime.

@yuya-oc If we could support a custom protocol mattermost:, we could simply rewrite the protocol in the email templates...

Yes, however it forces users to use electron-mattermost or other native clients. So the template should show two links, http(s) and mattermost. How do you think about this?

btw, is there any way to change email template in mattermost?

I do not know exactly. I will open an issue at mattermost. Maybe mattermost could make this a user setting...

How about supporting a url scheme and just using something like this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redirector/pajiegeliagebegjdhebejdlknciafen?hl=en-US

It's nice. Users have to set regex, but function will be simple.

That would be really nice!
