Protocol Link for Bitcoin (bitcoin://)

Hello,

I am constantly having to copy and paste a Bitcoin address from a page to Bitcoin, and this can be a little bit tiring. It would be nice if we could create a link something like this:

bitcoin://1NmEyy2aYuNJbAqH8vfjf8ct9TtBc5NQgS

Another option would be to add a payment amount:

bitcoin://1NmEyy2aYuNJbAqH8vfjf8ct9TtBc5NQgS?amt=.05

And of course, this would not automatically send the transfer, but open up the dialog box in Bitcoin for "Send Coins" with the boxes already filled in.
