Cleaner S3 URL Generation — Remove s3.amazonaws.com from Generated Path

Hi,

WinSCP’s current Generate file URL dialog outputs URLs like:
s3://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket/key

While this format is valid internally for WinSCP, it is not usable in common S3 workflows such as:

-AWS CLI (aws s3 ls s3://bucket/key)
-Scripts/automation
-SDK or application code (e.g. Python code constants)
-Adding it to documentation

The extra s3.amazonaws.com/ prefix is redundant for normal S3 paths and adds an unnecessary manual step of removing it every time.

Feature request:

Please add an option or setting to output the cleaner AWS-compatible URL format:

s3://bucket/key

It can be an extra line in the dialog or an extra ckeckbox to chose between long and short variant.
This would be very useful for users who work with S3 programmatically.

Thanks!
Best regards!
