    Issue:
    --
    Jetbrains released a Chrome Extension for working as a companion app to the Toolbox App.
    Allowing you from the major repository Web UIs (Github, Bitbucket..) to click a link and
    opening up directly your IDE.

    Unfortunately this extension does not work properly with my company BitBucket server installation.
    It always wanted to open IDEA rather then my main tool PyCharm.
    But i was curious how they did it.

    Tested on:
    - Toolbox App 1.17.6856, macOS 10.15.4

    JetBrains Toolbox Extension Google Chrome:
    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jetbrains-toolbox-extensi/offnedcbhjldheanlbojaefbfbllddna

    By using https://unminify.com/ to unminify the packed Chrome Extensions javascript files:

    Clone GIT URL format, works through the browser under OS X:

    jetbrains://<Application Shortcut ex: idea, pycharm...>/checkout/git?checkout.repo=<Clone URL ex: ssh://git@...>&idea.required.plugins.id=Git4Idea

    This URL is realized through the native Custom URL Scheme feature for Mac Apps as defined here:
    https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/inter-process_communication/allowing_apps_and_websites_to_link_to_your_content/defining_a_custom_url_scheme_for_your_app

    What parameters jetbrains:// accepts seem to be not publicly documented, but seem to be somehow consistent across the JetBrain IDEs.

    Additionally Jetbrain IDEs seem to have an open Webserver once started that allows also similar operations:
