Some time ago, I've implemented an algorithm for DocBook. I wrote aXSLT template that inserts zero-width space characters before or aftersspecific characters.
Although the stylesheet is based on DocBook, I assume it can be easilyadapted to DITA as well:
https://github.com/openSUSE/suse-xsl/blob/develop/suse2013/fo/hyphenate-url.xsl
The template covers some specific things, for example, it doesn't breakbefore "http://" strings.
You need to define some parameters (ulink.hyphenate.before.chars andulink.hyphenate.after.chars) where you can find here:
https://github.com/openSUSE/suse-xsl/blob/develop/suse2013/fo/param.xsl#L399
Hope this gives you some inspirations. :)
Good luck!
