GMDL: Give Me Direct Link

Get direct links to files in Google Drive by a Chrome extension (manifest v3)

Convert {ID} to https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/{ID} (or you can change to use https://drive.google.com/uc?id={ID} by yourself)

Created links may be deleted by Google Drive, you can move the pointer to regenerate (this is a hack by adding a listener to "pointermove" 😜)
