Description
I hope that materialfiles can support applink (for example, materialfiles://view/path/to/file), so that users can jump to materialfiles through hyperlinks in other applications (such as browsers).
In iOS, the system app Files provides the url scheme of shareddocuments://path/to/shared/file, which allows users to provide a hyperlink to jump to Files and display the specified shared file.

Research direction
Start by tracing MaterialFiles' Android app entry point, navigation, and file-opening flow; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Check how an Android URL scheme can carry a file path and define the handling needed for links such as materialfiles://view/path/to/file. Done means a hyperlink from another app launches MaterialFiles and displays the specified file.
