Feature request - RDP Link in Console window

astrugatch

I love the new SSH links in the console windows. Would it be possible to have an RDP link generated for Windows machines? I don't know if there is a way to detect if RDP is enabled, but a fat client link would definitely be helpful. Especially when working on a tablet (which the SSH links make immeasurably better now)

The problem is to know how to start this. Is rdp:// from URI is supported on Windows?

edit: we could always check if we have the OS name with Windows in it and then display the RDP link.

Might be useful to have the link on other OS'es as well. They might have RDP clients too. For example http://www.freerdp.com/ for Linux desktops.

a plain rpd://ip-address seems to work fine in Mac OS and iOS but more information may be needed on windows clients not sure if the uris work on all systems the same.

EDIT
Looks like windows doesn't support URI to RDP but Microsoft makes it work for basically every other OS. I still think its a worthwhile feature even if it is slightly less functional because Microsoft is weird.
