Description
Wishlist: no idea if it's feasible, but it would be nice if hyperref supported \url|...|, since the original url.sty does. Right now it takes the first | as the argument, as in \url{|}.

Research direction
Locate hyperref's \url parsing entry point and compare its delimiter handling with the original url.sty behavior mentioned in the issue. Confirm how \url|...| is currently parsed, then add coverage showing that the pipe-delimited form is accepted without treating the first pipe as the whole argument.
