Description

### Your use case

Currently, regular links are supported. I want to open a deep link for the Modern Apps Find Family app, but deep links can't be opened from a message.

Deep links work with by starting an activity with an implicit intent.

I don't have an x86-64 development environment, so I can't provide a PR. I won't submit something I haven't tested.

### Have you considered any alternatives?

None.

### Additional context

_No response_

### Are you willing to provide a PR?

No

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the existing handling for regular links opened from messages, then read the linked Android implicit-intent documentation and determine how deep links should enter the Modern Apps Find Family app. Done means deep links can be opened from a message as well as regular links.
