Turn open link with to open with
What i mean by above title that add support for files. When we share files to open with then it will suggest app similar to what it does with links.
That should already work like it is with the Android system. And it is much more complex for an app to handle.
Can you describe the exact problem? Maybe even with a screen recording. Thanks.
Check this. There is an app already available but that doesn't handle content providers. https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/24okaq/what_apps_would_you_like_to_have_that_dont_exist/ch96jid?context=3

This won't be difficult to handle. You need to resolve apps for mime types and give list of apps which can handle it.
The functionality that neodada requests already exists in an app called Better Open With, I believe, which was developed based on the referenced Reddit post. Where Open Link With, to my knowledge, allows you to open a specific app when clicking a specific link, Better Open With presents you with a list of applicable apps (of your choosing) that you can choose from rather than having to set a default app or selecting Only Once every time. You can set a preferred app for each category and that will be selected after a specified time if you don't select any app.
Unfortunately, Better Open With hasn't been updated since 2018 and the dev's email address bounces. Better Open With has certain issues, such as the Opera browser being listed twice in the browser choices and some others.
I currently use both apps, with Better Open With set as the default app for many links in Open Links With. If you could add this sort of functionality to Open Links With, without straying too far from your intentions for the app, that would be great.
(This would also seem to relate to tasomaniac's request dated Oct 24, 2020)
Better Open With dev here.
Unfortunately, Google doesn't allow me to publish paid apps from the country where I live, and supporting an app that doesn't generate any income is hard but if there is anyone here who wants to help me supporting the app by making occasional fixes to it I'm open to sharing the source code.

Hello Giorgi! Could you please open your project so that other people can contribute to it?

The developer of the app referenced by OP has recently open sourced his app. Here is the source code if you'd like to take take a look on how it is implemented.
