Custom url for custom bang without query

Value7609

When creating a custom bang, you can specify the URL and where it should put the query, there is also an option to redirect to the base path if no query was provided.

What I'd like to have is an option to add another URL, which is used when there is no query after the bang.
This would make it possible to have something like this:
!example: https://example.com/example.html
!example bla: https://example.com/search?q=bla
Currently possible is just either
!example:https://example.com/search?q=
Or with base toggle
!example:https://example.com/

Value7609 how would this work in UI?

Currently, there is this toggle which enables/disables redirect to base path

This could either be converted to a dropdown with these options:

When using bang without query:

"Open base path" -> DOMAIN/
"Open URL as is" -> URL with %s removed
"Custom URL"
And when selecting custom URL, a previously disabled text box gets enabled, where you can enter a URL.

Or it could still be the same checkbox, but when it's disabled the text box "appears" and if it's empty there will be a placeholder which says something along the lines "default is to use the URL without the %s"

My app extends this idea even further by allowing different URLs based on the type of input. This demo will open four different URLs depending on the type of input:

text is English: open English to Korean translation
text is Korean: open Korean to English translation
text is a URL: open the translation of the entire web page into English
no query: open Kagi.com (Just to demonstrate the target URL is completely flexible)

This is accomplished with a configuration like this:
[Translate.Papago] iflink = "https://papago.naver.net/website?locale=en&source=auto&target=en&url=QUERY" lang_ko = "https://papago.naver.com/?sk=ko&tk=en&hn=0&st=QUERY" ifquery = "https://papago.naver.com/?sk=en&tk=ko&hn=0&st=QUERY" default = "https://kagi.com/"

Basically, it's a list of conditions and a URL to open if that condition is met.

I will expand on this idea further in my bang-centric version of my app.
