Description

In the context of WIS discovery metadata, distribution links provide valuable means to guide users to interacting with data.

Consider advertising a WMS map link within a dataset's discovery metadata:

```json
{
"rel" : "items",
"type" : "image/png",
"title" : "OGC:WMS map of this dataset",
"href" : "https://example.org/wms/service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layer={layer}&bbox={miny},{minx},{maxy},{maxx}&format={format}&crs={crs}&width={width}&height={height}",
"templated" : "true"
}
```

Can we accomplish something similar with AMQP or MQTT? That is, provide a URI which allows a user to click/subscribe (albeit in a known way). It looks like there is a convention for both [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/uri-spec.html) and [MQTT](https://github.com/mqtt/mqtt.github.io/wiki/URI-Scheme), which go as far as connection, but there may be value in further specifying this like:

```json
{
"rel" : "items",
"type" : "application/json;subtype=x-wmo-wis",
"title" : "AMQPS feed of this dataset",
"href" : "amqps://anonymous@example.org/my-vhost/my-exchange/my-topic/my-subtopic"
}
```

Of course, non-trivial cases would go through other arrangements, but the above may be helpful as low barrier entry to PubSub advertising in WIS Metadata.
