Go to website by clicking url in file

Android 10
Samsung Galaxy A12
Brave browser

I want to store URLs in a text file on my phone and not as bookmarks in the browser.
Then I want to be able to click on the URL in the file and have the browser go to that URL..

Is there an Android app that can do that?
Or should I use a different browser than brave?
 
You should be able to do that with any file manager.

Copy/paste the links one at a time into a folder as files.
Then long press them until the same copy/paste menu appears, and select Open With, then choose your browser.
 
Saw this post today and just created a simple proof-of-concept PWA (progressive web app) to solve this need for you. You can add it to your Android/iOS home screen and works offline. Works better on desktop though, but if you are using the Samsung keyboard, open the keyboard actions menu and go to Text Editing to click the "Paste" button to paste some text with urls in it. The site extracts the urls automatically and makes them clickable.
