Feature request. Provide a URI scheme for marble views, including centre
co-ordinates and zoom level. By providing a scheme such as marble:// or map://,
this allows one to store marble views with associated resources, such as in
websites or in KOrganizer events.

Currently Marble only provides a means to copy human-readable co-ordinates such
as  10° 00' 04.8"E,  53° 33' 00.5"N. However, there is manual work in opening
the application, copying the co-ordinates to the clip-board and pasting them
into the search box that could be aleviated with clickable links in many
applications and on websites. A URI scheme would allow one to click a link to
perform all of these steps automatically, even if Marble is not currently
running.

Marble with Open Street Maps is quickly replacing Google Maps and
OpenStreetMaps.org for me, but this feature provides one area where the latter
two are still the more convenient.

Reproducible: Always
