How to launch desktop app with OAuth redirect URI

[st-little]

I want to launch desktop app with a redirect URI after authenticating with OAuth. Can I achieve this with a custom protocol?

This is called deep linking - a feature I very much want as well. It doesn't seem like it's really been figured out yet though, anywhere in the Rust community. Here's the Tauri issue for it:

You might be able to put it together using the crate they point out, but it's currently archived/unmaintained.

At a later point I think we should add support natively into the Desktop crate in the form of a hook or listener component - if you're able to make any headway from the tauri work then we can integrate it into the desktop crate natively.
