Q1. What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
For an entry, being able to click and be connected automagically. We’re doing that in keepass nowadays, for example we make an SSH entry with Title = hostname, login & password, and URL field is
cmd://putty -load "Default Settings" {TITLE} -l {USERNAME} -pw {PASSWORD}
Which pass down the command “putty …”, so it opens putty connected with SSH. Same thing with FTP entry, title login & password, and the URL field
cmd://"C:\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla FTP Client\filezilla.exe" sftp://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@{TITLE}
Clic and you’re connected. Same for database connection, with an additionnal field, database ID, etc etc.
For my current company, and the previous one too, the n°1 feature of this kind of tool is storing password, the n°2 is the time you save starting Putty / Filezilla / sqldeveloper / whatever, copy-paste login, copy-paste password, copy-paste hostname…
It may be achieved as I hinted with ssh://, ftp://, custom:// URI and OS integration or any way you might think of if you go for this feature request
