  You can make a protocol handler and use it between applications in 
Sailfish OS and that is what you have. However, Gecko only maps specific 
predefined protocols to ones available in system. See:
https://github.com/tmeshkova/embedlite-components/commit/af49c55c20809d419ab02e3512120bca3654492c

Writing a similar protocol handler for Gecko and installing it from your 
package might be technically possible, but might not be accepted to harbour.
