As far as I know (and it's absolutely possible I am wrong here), anyURI
should also cover something like "someprotocol:/some/absolutte/path".
So, there's nothing wrong with using an anyURI here, and no need for a
change. In fact, the existing pre-defined actions you can enter in the
UI are effectively implemented using an own URI scheme, and thus
perfectly legal. (Which doesn't touch the question of how sensible this
decision was, given that it effectively locks out other applications,
since this URI scheme isn't standardized in any way.)

Ciao
Frank
