Removing local URL protocols when converting to HTML?

Removing local URL protocols when converting to HTML?

Hello,


I am using Dendron as a personal knowledge management solution and from 
time to time, need to send some meeting notes that I take to others. 
Typically, my meeting notes will look something like this:

#### Notes
1. Steal Underpants
2. ???
3. Profit!

#### References
- [Plan for world domination](outlook:<GUID>)
- [Contingency Plan](https://www.example.com)

As you can see the "References" section includes a "link" to an Outlook 
GUID. I'm using the Outlook Protocol handler (More info 
<https://www.slipstick.com/problems/outlook-missing-outlook-protocol/>) 
to deep link to specific messages in my Inbox.

Now while this works really nicely for me, it's not very useful when I 
share my notes with others. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way 
for me in Pandoc to setup a filter such that if Pandoc encounters these 
type of "outlook" links, it deletes the link leaving just the Link 
description. In other words, the output HTML for the above example would 
(ideally) look like this:

<h4 id="references>References</h4>
<ul>
<li>[Plan for world domination]</li>
<li><a href="https://www.example.com>Contingency Plan</a></li>
</ul>

I've tried various combinations of keywords on "url", "filter", "link" 
etc but that has not yielded much result. I'm pretty sure this is not a 
very common problem and hence I'm hoping the group can help me figure out.

I should also say as I'm using pandoc at my $dayjob which is a heavily 
restricted environment, I'm limited to an extremely old version of 
pandoc (v2.2.3) which is very unfortunate but also not easily resolvable.

You probably want a filter like this (untested):

``` lua
function Link (link)
  if link.target:match '^outlook:' then
    return link.content
  end
end
```
