A bit confused by what we want to support.  Are we looking to support
previewing all links of the form

[[https://orgmode.org][linktype:link-content]]
[[https://orgmode.org][<linktype:link-content>]]

i.e. for preview purposes only, treat this as equivalent to the
following if there is no dedicated :preview handler for https?

[[linktype:link-content]]
[[<linktype:link-content>]]

Thanks, I was looking for org-file-contents.  I don't want to implement
a generic https handler.  BTW Alvaro Ramirez (Xenodium) has a pretty
good https link previewer for Org.  You could ask him if he's interested
in contributing.
