If the app was launched via a URL handler, that info will be passed in the event parameters. The naming convention used for the id properties in the url_handlers section of manifest.json matches the URL used to launch the app, allowing us to remove the unnecessary information from the beginning of the URL and leave just the portion used to pass parameters.

If the URL handler was used to launch the app, we'll store the URL parameters in local storage for retrieval later. If not, we'll clear it so it doesn't take the user somewhere unexpected.

Check to see if a launch URL was stored in local storage, so we can combine its parameters with the server settings stored in managed storage.

This now includes the original launch URL (if there was one), so those parameters can be passed on to the WebGL app along with the server settings.

The various IDs used make it easier to extract the pertinent information from the URL. It allows us to build a simple regex to remove the beginning of the URL and leave the relevant path and query string info in place.
This change adds code in the
onLaunchedevent listener to record the URL used to launch the app via the URL handler. That URL is then stored in local storage so it can be retrieved along with server settings when the web view is loaded, passing the original parameters on to the WebGL app.
