+====== About the script ======
+  * Purpose : Script to create/manage shortcuts to open an url.
+  * Author : TrianguloY
+  * Link: https://community.lightninglauncher.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=24
+====== How to use the script ======
+A script to open an url from a shortcut can be made with 3 lines of code. This script does that but also allows for multiple features regarding the creation of those shortcuts. To be precise the script allows you to:
+) If you run the script with an url as data (via lightning action->run script) that url will be opened. This can be used to open urls on gesture actions (long tap, swipe, stop points...) without explicitly create the shortcut. Note: the script must exist to open the url, but the url can be changed easily from the action configuration screen.
+) If you run the script from an item, you can change the intent of the item so that it will open the url (replacing any existing intent). Note: once the intent is set the script is no longer needed, but to change the url you need to edit the intent again.
+) If you run the script from a container, you can create a new shortcut to open a url. This is the same as creating a new empty item and changing the intent with option 2 (the script is not needed for the item to work, but to change the url you need to edit the intent)
+) You can also run the script to launch manually a url...if for some reason you don't want to open your browser directly :P
