GioHyperlink

--------

Opens a hyperlink in the default browser. 🤩

## Setup

First, you need to `go get github.com/inkeliz/giohyperlink`, then you need to provide `giohyperlink` access to the Window events, so you need to add the following to your main loop function:

```rust

```diff

 for evt := range w.Events() { // Gio main event loop

+    giohyperlink.ListenEvents(e)

    switch evt := evt.(type) {

        // ...

    }

}

```

> _⚠️In some OSes (Windows, macOS...) this setup is optional, but it's recommended to do it anyway._

## Usage

To open one link, you can use the `Open` function:

```go

giohyperlink.Open("https://github.com")

```

That will open the link in the default browser. You can use `OpenURL` to open a `*url.URL`:

```go

giohyperlink.OpenURL(&url.URL{

    Scheme: "https",

    Host:   "github.com",

})

```

By default only HTTP and HTTPS links are allowed, but you can change that by changing `InsecureIgnoreScheme` to `true`,

you should validate the URL and scheme on your own.
