Req Detect imdb id from any filename or link (.url)

I know you can have nfo's with imdb link but there are issues with nfo's:

1. they are useless other than for XBMC.
2. yet another unusable file with you movie.
3. extension/filename clash with original nfo files.

If you just need to give XBMC imdb id a link (.url) would make more sense. It would actually have a purpose other than metadata for XBMC. Unlike nfo you can open it by default (on win at least) and have some usefull info available without having to copy the movie name so you can google for imdb link. A link or any other file like .txt could just have imdb as a filename too. In my case I would have an imdb link named after it's imdb id (tt000000).

It already works with Couch potato so I don't see why it couldn't work with XBMC. I don't see any possible clashes with existing files as there's really no reason to have an imdb link to a different movie in the same folder. In this scenario it could be enabled by default. Even an option in advancedsettings.xml would be great.
