This is a feature request, not a bug. However this feature can be useful in the future.
A lot of us server administrators publish addresses to our server. What if there is a way to make the published server address clickable? This will require Minecraft having its own URL scheme, and registering itself as a URL handler in the operating system.
My suggested Minecraft URL scheme is like this:
minecraft://<server>[:<port>]/[<world name>]
e.g: minecraft://mc.example.com/
Upon opening a link to the minecraft: scheme the Minecraft launcher handles it, starts the game and connects to the server and port (default to 25565), and request the given world (or the default world for the server if world name is not indicated)
This will not only allow a user to connect to a Minecraft server right from their browser with one click, but also allow server administrators run multiple independent worlds within the same server instance, indicated by the world name, and/or the host name (in a HTTP virtual host fashion).
