Re: [O] set different colors for different link types

[Michael Brand]

For links with a description I always just repeat the protocol tag
there manually:
[[file://path/to/my file][file: myfile]]
[[http://www.example.com/path/to/my file][http: myfile]]

Together with the space after the colon this shows, also immediately,
if you look only at the link description or at the link itself:
[[file://path/to/my file]]
[[http://www.example.com/path/to/my file]]

This color-independent solution works even if colors would not be
available occasionally like with some terminal configs.
