Description of the new feature

From the last release, you have to confirm each click on a hyperlink:

This link may lead to an unsafe location. Hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data. To protect your computer, only click links from trusted sources.

Please make this behavior (_IsUriConsideredSomewhatSafe) configurable, either through a scheme whitelist or a switch disabling this entirely (or both).

I work a lot with vscode:// hyperlinks, and having to confirm each click coming from a trusted source is honestly infuriating. I'd really appreciate it.
