Make it an option inside the app that you can register Playback as the default handler for magnet links

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to register custom protocol handlers (e.g., magnet links) in Electron for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Look into Electron's `protocol` module and platform specific APIs like `app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient`. Also consider testing on different OS.
