When using Outlook Web (OWA) as Web App and you're reading a specific mail, the current URL in the browser is not what you can use to navigate to that mail later (thanks Microsoft ...) This uses the solution found in https://www.reddit.com/r/Outlook/comments/dqcewq/outlook_link_to_specific_email/ to use the mail ItemId to construct a proper URL and use that instead of the original one.

Pull request overview

This PR updates Omarchy’s bundled Chromium “Copy URL” extension to special-case Outlook Web (OWA) message URLs, rewriting them into a stable owa/?ItemID=... deep link that can be used to reopen the same email later.

Changes:

  • Add OWA URL parsing/rewrite logic in the extension’s background script when copying the current tab URL.
  • Bump the extension version to 1.1 and reformat manifest.json for readability.
