Re: [manifest] Deep linking - need proper use cases and requirements analysis (#363)

I haven't unfortunately. @PaulKinlan, do you have anyone on your team familiar with the native deep linking who could look at this?

@alxlu as long as it is restricted to URL scopes within its own domain, I think this could work. The problem is when multiple apps register for the same scopes, but maybe that can be looked at as an enhancement in the future.

I would assume that registering for these scopes (and adding handlers) should happen in a Service Worker, as the app might not be running and because it gives a lot of flexibility.

We could then look at how to make the Service Worker launch the app in "web app state" - using the info from the manifest. 

It is already possible to launch the app from the Service Worker based push notifications, but I would assume that that also just launches the app in the browser currently. @PaulKinlan can you confirm? We should really fix this.
