Is it possible to open the native app from a web extension?
I have tried creating a new tab that uses the app's URL scheme but the UI asking the user to open the app is not shown until the new page UI is dismissed.
Creating a tab with an HTTPS URL that the app is setup to handle does not work and always the link in a new tab.
I tried sending a message to the app extension and using NSExtensionContext.open(_:completionHandler:) but the URL is not opened and the closure received false, indicating it was not handled.
Having the option to link back to the native app would be very useful.
