Element X does not support URI schemes

Open jayb-g opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

The only URI supported by default is call.element.io but not element:// or elementx://

Little inconvenient being not able to use 'open in app' from browsers especially when you can't search rooms properly in X yet. (Eg searching #organicmaps automatically gives search result as @organicmaps)

The one officially registered URI scheme for Matrix is matrix: (https://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-schemes.xhtml), so IMO the way to go would be:

  • have Element X be a matrix: URI handler
  • have Element X's "Share" features generate matrix: URIs
  • have Element X's chat screen detect matrix: URIs and open them in app

Not possible even after a year? Implementing it shouldn't be that much a problem.
