Research direction
Investigate how KDE's '速搜' (quick search) feature works and how it uses URLs for launching applications. Then explore the browser extension's ability to register custom URL protocol handlers (e.g., using the `registerProtocolHandler` API or similar). Look into whether the extension's background script can listen for navigation events or if a separate native messaging host is needed for Linux. Check existing comments in the issue for any maintainer guidance.
