Description
Description:
In Rocket chat you can get link of the message from the context menu. But you can't open that link in the Rocket.Chat.Electron application itself. You can only open it in the browser.
Link example: https://open.rocket.chat/channel/general?msg=3DDRxGocfBrrxnSaE or http://some_rocket_workspace.com/channel/general?msg=slack-C6FR714UC-1627805234-002000
Expected behavior:
- user can open link manually via an app:
1.1. open search and paste the link to the search field, like in Telegram
1.2. through the button "go to url from the clipboard" in the top menu panel - user can set automatic opening links in desktop app, when he opens link in browser (like Slack do)

Research direction
Start by tracing the Desktop app's search field, top menu panel, clipboard URL action, and browser link-opening flow. Done means the app can manually open copied Rocket.Chat URLs and can optionally open those links automatically when launched from a browser.
