Description
Some Markdown processors will recognise URLs and convert them, even if they are not explicitly marked as such. I am wondering whether it would of interest to add an option to auto-render URLs?
I am thinking this would take the form of a checkbox in the Preferences -> Rendering view to enable and then have some code that will interpret URLs and display them in the preview pane.

Research direction
Start by locating the Preferences → Rendering view and the preview-pane rendering path. Check how Markdown URLs are currently handled and how rendering preferences are stored; done means an option can be enabled and URLs are auto-rendered in the preview when it is on.
