I'd like https://riot.im/app/#/room/#Mobilizon:matrix.org room url's to attempt to open in the Nextcloud web app.

Thanks for considering!

It is starting to look like MSC2312 is solidified enough to maybe try implementing. Unfortunately, at least within Firefox, we can't currently register a handler for matrix: (docs) but that will probably change once MSC2312 becomes part of the spec.

That might be a better idea once that becomes available. Would be open to a PR for either way if the UX can be made well.

The current canonical way to link to matrix rooms, users, or events is to use matrix.to, see here

As a browser application, we cannot add link handlers for other websites. Once MSC2312 is part of the spec and browsers add support for it, we can register a handler so that when a user opens a link to a Matrix resource, it automatically opens in the Element for Nextcloud app.

Currently blocked by https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/6320, but that might change soon.

Edit: now waiting for this to trickle down to users as browsers are updated. You might want to follow https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/16875.

I'd like to point out that Firefox 90 is now out and supports registering matrix: handlers. Chrome 92 will also support it, and releases in two days :)
