Make Gnome-do expand URLs with text substitution

[koushik]

First of all, Gnome-do is great & I love it and it has already saved me lots of time and typing. Not to mention the already quite comprehensive plugin list. Keep it up !

This is not a bug - it is a feature request - something I believe Gnome-Do should be able to do via a plugin... it probably already does...

One thing I haven't been able to figure out how to do in gnome-do is expanding URLs with arbitrary text replacement. This is like the google search action, but parameterized to handle any URL-format where the position of the parameter is fixed and the value of the parameter can be supplied by the user while invoking the action.

For example, I would like to view popular bookmarks tagged with tag in delicious with a command like "deltag" mapped to "http://delicious.com/popular/<some-identifier>". When I type "deltag tag" Gnome-Do should replace <some-identifier> with the literal value entered at the input (in this case tag). I can do the same thing for viewing a bug in launchpad or search a query in google by replacing special token with user input.

I know there are separate gnome-do plugins for launchpad and google search, but what I want is a generic url expansion with parameters that user can supply at the time of invoking that shortcut. If I have that capability I can drive my browser directly into the depths of any REST-ful webapp - even e.g., a properietary company intranet, as quickly as possible but no quicker :-).
