Add support to read .url (Internet Shortcut) files dropped from desktop folders.

[efalsken]

Describe the feature you'd like

I'd like to add support for reading .url files dragged from Windows Explorer. These are files saved as bookmarks or links. Originally by Internet Explorer, but also supported by Chrome and Edge.

the file contents aren't formally defined anywhere.

[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.someaddress.com/
WorkingDirectory=C:\WINDOWS\
ShowCommand=7
IconIndex=1
IconFile=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\url.dll
Modified=20F06BA06D07BD014D
HotKey=1601

Typically only the URL and sometimes the IconFile are specified. The URL filename usually contains the Title of the page at the time the shortcut was created.
