It turns out, this is not required. Just now, for example, I added link
like the following:
=
//flounder.online/ Flounder, for simple web people
The magic of URLs is that the actual target depends on what you're
looking at: If you're looking at
https://transjovian.org:1965/gemini/page/Sites then the link goes to
https://flounder.online/ and when you're looking at
gemini://transjovian.org/gemini/page/Sites then the link goes to
gemini://flounder.online/.

Ah, this is awesome -- I never knew this was part of the URL spec. Glad you're enjoying my site :)
