intent specify path
I propose extending Tasker's "Intent" feature to not only react to URL schemes but also to allow users to edit the "android:path" component of the URL. Specifically, I would like to have the ability to trigger Tasker tasks when clicking on a link that leads to a URL like "https://www.mywebsite.com/customcommand," where the "android:path" component would be "www.mywebsite.com/customcommand."
Use Case: The primary use case for this feature enhancement is to enable Tasker to execute tasks on my Android device without actually opening the corresponding website. For example, if I click on a link that directs to "https://www.mywebsite.com/customcommand," Tasker would recognize the custom path "www.mywebsite.com/customcommand" and execute a predefined task on my phone, all without launching a web browser or loading the webpage.
Benefits:
-
Enhanced Automation: This feature would significantly expand Tasker's automation capabilities by allowing users to respond to specific URL paths with custom actions, providing more control over their Android devices.
-
Efficiency: Users can save time and resources by executing tasks directly based on URL paths, eliminating the need to load webpages for certain actions.
-
Versatility: It would open up numerous possibilities for creative automation scenarios, such as triggering tasks when clicking on links from specific domains or performing actions based on dynamic URL paths.
-
Personalization: Tasker users could tailor their device automation to their exact needs, creating a more personalized and efficient mobile experience.
Implementation: To implement this feature, I suggest adding an option within the "Intent" context of Tasker that allows users to specify a URL path in addition to the scheme. Users should be able to define the path they want to monitor, and Tasker would trigger the associated task when a matching URL is clicked.
