cmdline autocomplete ":e scp://" urls

Hi guys.

I wanna autocomplete URLs on the cmdline so when I type

:e scp://root@somewhere//some<TAB>
It would expand to
:e scp://root@somewhere//somefile

First step would something like
:cmap <TAB><TAB>

Or the more complicated catch TAB, rerun wildchar() func (if not an scp url)
or :cmap <TAB>

and execute something like:

ssh root@devshop 'ls /dir/*'

and add that either to the wildmenu (how would that be done?) or pass the first result at the end of the line.

But since netrw already provides and explorer - is there already an easier way to do this? Or could anyone elaborate on why or why not this would be possible.

Regards,
