SVGAElement: protocol property
The protocol property of the SVGAElement interface is a string containing the protocol or scheme of the SVG <a> element's href, including the final ":".
This property can be set to change the protocol of the URL. A ":" is appended to the provided string if not provided. The provided scheme has to be compatible with the rest of the URL to be considered valid. Setting it also rewrites the element's href attribute as a complete, absolute URL.
See URL.protocol for more information.
