feature request: an otty:// URL scheme for opening files/URLs from other apps #70

Description

@Fartown

Otty version: 1.2.3

Currently Info.plist registers only the x-man-page and ssh URL schemes. There is no way for a browser, notes app, or script to deep-link into Otty.

Proposal

Something like otty://view?path=/abs/file.md (and maybe otty://open?path=/dir) that routes to the same code path as otty view / otty open, so external tools can open a file pane in a running Otty without shelling out to otty-cli.

Use case

Finder replacements, Raycast/Alfred actions, markdown notes apps, "reveal in editor" links — anywhere a user wants "open this in my terminal's viewer" without a CLI shim.
