Electron-cash: Make links in outputs clickable

Created on 12 Dec 2018 · 6Comments · Source: Electron-Cash/Electron-Cash

As Electron-Cash shows OP_RETURN memos in outputs as default, I propose to make hyperlinks there clickable.
electron-cash_op_return message with hyperlink

We in memopay.xyz pushing microtransactions along with ad message in op_return to BCH addresses, normally such ad messages contain links, blockexplorers already made them clickable, and it would be great to have clickable links in EC wallet too.

I suppose clickable links will be useful for other services using op_return and regular users too (as EC wallet already allows users to add op_return memos to transactions).

UX and usability enhancement

I agree in principle. But if this is done, let's make very sure it's not vulnerable to XSS (html injection) attacks. So, make good use of https://docs.python.org/3/library/html.html#html.escape . :-)

blockexplorers already made them clickable

Which block explorers do this?

This is a good suggestion .. Bumping for visibility.
