Description
Currently we force the user to log in before the see the links opened by the wordpress://viewpost?blogId=X&postId=Y. However, this shouldn't be necessary so this issue is to investigate options how to open these links with being logged out.

Research direction
Trace the Android handling for wordpress://viewpost?blogId=X&postId=Y deeplinks and the login gate that currently blocks them. Investigate how the link can open while logged out, then verify that the target post opens without authentication while existing logged-in behavior remains unchanged.
