Description
I have noticed on Android and iOS that some https urls open in non-browser apps. Is there a way to achieve that with a PWA? Our users will be confused if we guide them through installation of our PWA, only for them to get the landing page again once they reuse their url.
I thought I would find some mention of this desirable behavior among PWA guides on protocol_handlers, but so far none do. So I accepted the invitation to give feedback offered at https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/best-practices/url-protocol-handler#tell_us_about_the_api_design

Clarify whether the desired behavior belongs in protocol_handlers or requires a separate platform change; done should be a documented answer or a concrete standards proposal.
