Reddit Link Detection

As far as I can tell, there is currently no way to open external Reddit links in Narwhal 2. Narwhal 1 has a button to manually paste in a Reddit link. A long-ish time ago, Narwhal 1 would auto-detect a Reddit link in the Clipboard whenever the app was opened. I think this was removed due to a new iOS popup that would appear every single time the Clipboard was read (which some users found understandably alarming). I wonder if the best solution to this would be to offer a simple button like "Detect Reddit Link". When pressed, Narwhal 2 would examine the Clipboard for a Reddit Link. Obviously this would trigger the scary iOS popup, but I think people would be more agreeable to it then, since they initiated the action. I might be missing some operating system limitations that make this an unfeasible solution. Apple has locked things down pretty hard in the past years with regards to the Clipboard.
