I think this relates to what Adam was asking about last month.
I didn't follow at the time, but maybe this is it.
With the latest, we can key on any protocol, not just the ones edbrowse knows about.
You can even make up nonsensical protocols for your own purpose.
This was inspired by a question from tsp:
in directory mode, could you click on a zip archive and see the files
and directories at the top level?
Then click on a directory to descend, as though it was a file system.
Clcik on a file and it is in your buffer.
^ to go back.
Is it possible, without hardcoding it in edbrowse, which nobody wants to do.
Is it possible without inflating the whole archive, which again, nobody wants to do.
Well yes you can.
See these two files.

There are 3 plugins and a bash script that you need to put in your bin.
Enjoy, and explore, and send me all sorts of bug reports,
because this was a change to 400 lines of code.
