aworld: ?

Hey Edwin, question about vp_url_send() and the aworld: URL scheme. Is there any documentation I can look at? If not:
I'm testing vp_url_send() with VP_URL_TARGET_OVERLAY, sending a real HTTPS page and it renders correctly over the 3D viewport (transparent background works too). But when I click an <a href="aworld:?test=hello"> link inside that page, I get Chromium's ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME — meaning the embedded browser doesn't recognize aworld: as a scheme at all.
I noticed an old changelog entry mentioning a fix for "aworld:? URLs in web pages," so I'd assumed the scheme was still supported for sending data back from an overlay/browser page into the SDK (similar to how Active Worlds' AW_EVENT_URL_CLICK works). Is aworld: still implemented in the current Chromium-based embedded browser? If not, is there a current equivalent for a webpage to signal a click/action back to a subscribed SDK bot — is VP_EVENT_URL still the right event to be listening for that, just via a different scheme or mechanism?
Also, can I get access to the wiki? I've tried logging in, but it seems to have forgotten me.
Thanks!
