[linux] correct way to open in browser

[laur89]

My open in browser command is outdated. Following version works, but curious whether it's the correct way of doing it in '25:

5\Command="
    copyq:
    execute('xdg-open', str(input()))"
5\HideWindow=true
5\Icon=\xf0ac
5\InMenu=true
5\Input=text/plain
5\Name=Open in Browser
5\Shortcut=ctrl+i

Also, how come Input value is required?

xdg-open still works.

Also, how come Input value is required?

Without setting Input, the input() would return empty data.

Using input() is preferable for larger data than passing the data on command line (e.g. using %1 or arguments()) because the is usually limit in OS for the length arguments and environment variables (somewhat similar to HTTP status code 414 "URI Too Long" in web apps).
