uri support for opening mastodon attributed app

[albjeremias]

What

If the links are pointing to the standard described in "FEP-07d7: A Custom URL Scheme and Web-Based Protocol Handlers for Linking to ActivityPub Resources" the links would open the activitypub/fediverse app you have as default in your device.

Why

When i press on a wordpress link to activity pub shows me a dialog to request my id or to copy the url.

How

web+activitypub:
oh wait.. there is only

Do you know any apps that support that? These custom protocols are meant for web apps, so I would assume that there are no mobile apps that support them!?!

There is the acct: URI scheme for profiles: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7565.html

Is that what you meant?

The web+ protocol is meant to register web apps. So for example if you want to register Mastodon or WordPress as you main handler for some sorts of actions. Then every time you click these specific links, Mastodon or WordPress will be opened, but I think it is not possible to register them for apps. That is why they are prefixed with web.
