Description
### Steps to reproduce
This is actually an Android 12 upgrade requirement. To reproduce, attempt to open an Element URL in a web browser -- nothing happens. Example URL:
https://matrix.to/#/!X--------------BDC:matrix.org/$TE--------------------------------------IKU)
### Outcome
Because "matrix.to" links would not open in Element on Android 12, I had to manually approve URLs in the Android System Apps Element settings to allow web links to open in Element. After I approved "matrix.to" in the Android System Apps Element settings, the links open correctly in Element.
According to:
https://developer.android.com/training/app-links/verify-site-associations
this happens because the following URL does not exist:
https://matrix.to/.well-known/assetlinks.json
