Re: [w3c/manifest] Add manifest option for PWAs to be registered as scheme/protocol handlers (#846)

> Will it be possible to make regular https:// links be opened in the pwa directly without having them first open the default browser and then the pwa.

> The reason to override regular https:// links would be for them to gracefully fallback to opening in the browser if pwa is not installed.

@emattias thanks for the comment. I believe what you described is more related to this explainer (https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/master/PwaUriHandler/explainer.md), which aims to handle https links, and AFACT, that's the goal with that work.

> Or are there other ways that custom url schemes will fallback to opening the page in the browser if the pwa is not installed?

I'm afraid not. Not by default at least. The page interested in having this behavior would have to have the protocol handler installed via `registeredProtocolHandler` for that to happen. Makes sense?
