Support for opening `watch_videos` playlist URLs
Describe the feature you want
Following a URL like
...redirects with HTTP response 303 to a URL like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjRTSkBHnyo&list=TLGGTxknVJuOq2MxNzA1MjAyMA
As far as I know, the URLs redirected to expire after a while. (I had this result years ago.)
NewPipe should be able to open these links by simply following the redirect. For me, opening means scanning the QR code of a watch_videos URL and selecting NewPipe as the app to open it with.
Should NewPipe ever save opened playlist URLs somewhere to make them available to the user again, it should save the watch_videos URLs in this case.

Additional context
How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?
Being able to scan QR codes with watch_videos URLs and open them with NewPipe, instead of having to follow the redirect before creating the QR code, makes the process more versatile. If your QR code scanner has a history, you can open the URL later when the URL originally redirected to may already have expired.
