What do you mean, exactly? If you want a protocol-relative URL, use
{{fullurl:}}. This seems to be what you mean with "protocol relative to the
login type". There isn't a parser function that outputs http:// URLs for people
viewing over http and https:// URLs for people viewing over HTTPS because that
would mean we'd have to split the parser cache, but this is exactly what
protocol-relative URLs are for.
What do you mean with a "URL relative to the user"? Does that mean generating
fully-qualified URLs, e.g. for e-mails that use https if the user logs in over
https and http otherwise? Would this be based on the not-yet-existing "Always
use HTTPS when I'm logged in" preference?
