Research direction

Start by locating the post detail link-handling entry point and the reader detail flow in the WordPress iOS project. Trace how links to WP.com blog posts are identified and confirm that other links retain their existing behavior. Done means a tapped WP.com post opens in reader detail rather than the in-app browser.
