Actually BibleTime uses sword:// internally but the rest of the link  
specification may be a bit different from other implementations. I  
have thought about changing it if necessary. This whole issue is  
important enough to be resolved as soon as possible. Linking inside  
and between modules should be self-evident feature in Bible software.

We should also have MIME type which makes sharing links e.g. with  
d'n'd possible.
