Does not properly linkify URLs with custom protocol fields

[NotAFile]

This was originally reported downstream as element-hq/element-web#5094

When viewing links, of the form protocol://whatever, linkify does not properly highlight the full link

Steps to reproduce

• linkify message with a link with a custom protocol, e.g. aos://151723184:32876:0.75
• Notice that the aos: does not get linkified, only the //151723184:32876:0.75

any plans to consider this?

Would love to see support for skype:xxx git:xxx about:xxx and any other scheme

Would also like to see this implemented, so we can linkify gopher:// and gemini:// links 😉

Fixed in v3. See docs for adding custom protocols.

guys, how to add custom protocol for react component? I registered it by using linkify.registerPlugin but Linkify component doesn't recognize new protocol..

@hkuznetsovb use linkify.registerCustomProtocol instead
