Issue for this PR

Closes#30613

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Refactor / code improvement
  • Documentation

What does this PR do?

shell.openExternal accepts any URL without validation, allowing potentially dangerous protocols like file://, javascript:, and smb:. This adds an isSafeExternalLink() guard that restricts open-link IPC calls to http: and https: URLs only, with dedicated helper module for testability.

How did you verify your code works?

  • bun test src/main/external-link.test.ts — 3 tests pass covering allowed protocols, blocked protocols, and malformed URLs
  • bun typecheck (desktop package) — clean

Screenshots / recordings
