Description
I'm looking for the BeamMP Launcher to use a custom URI scheme, like beammp://. This would enable users to click a link on a website, Discord, or a community server list and have the BeamMP Launcher open and connect to the specified server.
Example: beammp://connect/123.45.67.89:10000
Joining a server currently requires manually finding it in the list or typing in an IP. If we had a protocol handler, we could just use "one-click" links on event pages and in Discord. This would make it much easier for players to connect to a server without messing around with menus.

Only windows is support is a priority due to that being where the majority of the players are & and the inconsistencies of linux desktop environments and the deeplinks.
