Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When Outlook 365 opens a URL internally, it uses webview2.  Some links are used to open MS Teams.  In doing so there is a prompt such as "This site is trying to open Microsoft Teams."  and an option to always allow teams.microsoft.com to open msteams.  I want to suppress this prompt so users don't get used to simply accepting the prompt without considering why they are getting it.

Describe the solution you'd like and alternatives you've considered

This is corrected in Edge with this GPO setting:
AutoLaunchProtocolsFromOrigins
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#autolaunchprotocolsfromorigins

I'd like the same to be made available for WebView2.
