Add Deep Links to another service

I would like the ability to add deep links to other services to my movie and tv show libraries. I know this could be possible because Channels DVR allows for people to create a text document with a deep link to another service (like itunes) that can be named with the standard naming convention and then loaded into the library and will then open the service in question to the right service.

There’s an existing feature request asking to support such STRM files – I suppose this is aiming at actually playing those files through Plex.

There’s another suggestion asking to do a direct link to online streamers – though this suggestion has zero votes.

I suggest you vote/comment in those threads to avoid distracting attention by having multiple suggestions on the same matter.
