Attachment link modes?

[Emiliano Heyns]

I see attachments can have these link modes:

  this.LINK_MODE_IMPORTED_FILE = 0;

  this.LINK_MODE_IMPORTED_URL = 1;

  this.LINK_MODE_LINKED_FILE = 2;

  this.LINK_MODE_LINKED_URL = 3;

What do these link modes mean? I think IMPORTED_FILE means it's in the storage directory, and LINKED_FILE that it lives outside the storage, but I don't know how to interpret this distinction in the case of URLs.

Also, I can't seem to add irc:// urls in the client. Is there a restriction to only ftp:// http:// and https:// schemes?

IMPORTED_URL is a snapshot with a URL, and LINKED_URL is an attached web
link without any files.

Currently, yes, for security reasons, though there's been discussion of
relaxing that.
