[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 124994] Cell Formatting for URL websites, or other URI schemes

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124994

--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
This is not only for the formatting of a cell holding a Hyperlink.

What is lacking is a dedicated Cell format for URI's--URL's being just one
scheme. 

Formatting for all URI's are handled as "Text", but when entered get a Number
-> General assignment as even if autoformatted their cells are not categorized
as Text. I.e. select the cell after entering a URL, and Format -> Cell. With
defaults now it is assigned a Number: General format.

Effort here would be to create a selectable category for the Number panel to
explicitly input URI's--and to derive their style formatting from Text cell
style formatting as now for the "Hyperlink" style.  Imagine we could describe
cell style formatting for URLs (http, https), ftp, email, etc. based on the
URI. 

A <Ctrl>+click, or Double-click, or Open Hyperlink to follow the URI held in
the cell.  Establishing a specific URI category for cell content would allow us
to tailor LO's behavior to the different "schemes"--if only to correctly pass
them on to the os/DE
