//
// http://boardsmanager/All#SparkFun_Apollo3
// ~http://boardsmanager/All#SparkFun%20Apollo3~ UNSUPPORTED. Use underscore (_) instead of `%20` (URL encoded space)
// http://librarymanager/All#SparkFun_u-blox_GNSS

This PR has received all required support from the CLI and is ready for review. I have adjusted the examples in the PR description.

Update: I did not update the screencast.

@PaulZC could you please help us with the verification? Everything should work as in IDE 1.x (except for a few enhancements: arduino/arduino-cli#1904 (review) and the topic support for libs). Please note the updated example; underscore _ must be used in the hash, not %20. Let us know how it works for you. Thank you!

It is working perfectly in all the provided test cases as well as for a sampling of URIs from the wild collected by searching my >2 GB mega-sketchbook.

Thanks Akos, both for adding the missing feature, and also for going above and beyond by actually making the "Type" filter work for the first time in the 6 year history of the feature, as well as adding "Topic" filter support!

Sincere best wishes,
