[FR] Make links clickable (or double-clickable)

[Gitoffthelawn]

This is related to #24, but instead of having links auto-copied to the clipboard or auto-opened, I would simply like them clickable (or double-clickable) within the barcodrod app to open in the default browser. Currently, it seems the typical way to open a link from barcodrod is to manually copy it to the clipboard and then paste in into a browser's address bar. Having the ability to click on a link will be a time-saver.

Whether or not it would be best to be single-click or double-click is certainly open for discussion. Single-click will mimic common browser behaviour, but double-click offers a little more protection against accidentally launching a bad link.

Hi @Gitoffthelawn, I'm hesitant to convert the decoded text field to Rich Text with a hyperlink in case of unintended copy paste issues. That said, wanted to make sure you're aware of this feature-

For every decoded QR/barcode, a check is run against the result string to determine if it's in a URI format. If there's an app on that device registered to launch that URI format, a button becomes available to open the decoded result.

And it works for non-URLs as well:

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for pointing that out. For some reason, that button, as well as the one immediately to its left, are always dimmed (disabled).

@Gitoffthelawn Not planned, but an 'auto copy results' setting has been added in v1.9 which is under publishing review on the Microsoft Store.

Added some more features here to help address this scenario. Not-clickable but can auto-open browser (and we also normalize URLs, so www.google.com will now be recognized as a URL, whereas before it needed https:// in front of it). Can also auto-copy result to clipboard.
