I would like to configure SharePoint 2007 to allow alternate protocols / links to be entered in a number of placed:
Hyperlink fields
Rich text editor (highlight text and create a hyperlink)
etc.
An example protocol would be notes:// (for Domino databases). I've also heard people having issues with using onenote:// and mms:// but haven't confirmed this.
Here's a discussion on this topic that seems to be going down the right path:

However, I've been unable to configure SharePoint to accept the new protocols. It continues to give errors like:
Hyperlinks must begin with http://, https://, mailto:, news:, ftp://, file://, or \\. Check the address and try again. (when trying to create a link in the rich text editor)
or
Invalid URL: notes://server/mydb.nsf (when typed into a URL list field)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
