:r https://google.com works in nvim, doesn't work in emacs

[agzam]

:r(ead) and :e(dit) commands in vim can take urls and through netrw (built-in) plugin insert/edit the content of it.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work in Emacs, so you can't do things like:

:e scp://user@host/path-to-file or :r https://some-web-address

Minor thing for sure, yet maybe it would be nice to have the parity.

Additionally, I think it would be great if it was possible to execute arbitrary elisp functions through :r and :e, something that I don't think can be done in neovim, but maybe can be achieved in emacs relatively easily?
