Description
Internal ref: p1707308676059989?thread_ts=1707300415.968459&cid=C0180B5PRJ4-slack-C0180B5PRJ4
Expected behavior
When I'm opening a link URL to a WordPress post/page from an email or browser I would like to be able to chose if open them in the JP app or in the browser.
Actual behavior
When I'm opening a link URL to a WordPress post/page from an email or browser the link is intercepted by the JP app and there is not a built-in in app way to set a preference about it. There is a procedure though here but a in-app way would be preferable.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- tap on a URL to a WordPress post in an email or browser
- see the JP app opens
- follow the step in here you can workaround it
Tested on [iPad 7th gen], iOS [iPad OS 17.2], Jetpack iOS / WordPress iOS [23.8]

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start with the linked iOS support procedure and reproduce the URL-opening behavior on the stated iPad and iPadOS versions, then trace the app's link interception and preference/settings entry points. Done means users can choose in the app whether WordPress post and page links open in the app or the browser, with the choice preserved and covered by tests.
