Title: Add plugin for geo: URLs

I'm just opening the issue here so I don't forget, but it should probably be done in a separate plugin.
The geo: URL scheme was designed to locate places on Earth (other planets seem to be also supported) which I like a lot. It is an agnostic identifier, so you are not tied to a single provider like Google Maps or Open Street Map, so you decide where to open it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI_scheme
Here is the RFC:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5870
This also shows that we should be able to assign custom handlers (applications) to open certain protocols, rather than trying to display them on the browser. In my case, I would love to add support to lightweight map viewers like florb.
