Hi~ sometimes will callback app custom url schema.

@leaanthony @stffabi I'm also interested in being able to configure the startUrl (especially for windows):

wails/v2/internal/frontend/desktop/windows/frontend.go

Line 36 in 8e88e14

const startURL = "http://wails.localhost/"

I'm running an Echo server in a goroutine within my wails app and rendering html using the htmx library. I want the startUrl to point to the url of the Echo server, e.g. http://localhost:8090. Ideally, when I configure the Wails App options, I'd like to be able to specify a StartURL option, that would then be used instead of the built-in hard-coded startUrl. I'd be fine with loosing the wails rpc functionality, since most of by app is implemented by my Echo server backend.

This is still a desktop app, but based on the HATEOS paradigm (https://intercoolerjs.org/2016/05/08/hatoeas-is-for-humans.html), which prefers html and server-side state, with minimal javascript.

This issue is probably also related to:

1. use a localhost server instead of wails custom protocol (https://wails.localhost) #2116
2. use a localhost server instead of wails custom protocol (https://wails.localhost) #2116 (comment)
3. Open URL directly #1516

I'm currently trying to replace wails with webview/webview-go directly, just because I want to navigate to my own url, but this is proving to be quite a pain, especially with cross-compilation and CGO. Wails solves quite a few problems very well, and I'd prefer to just stick with Wails if I could.
