Ahh.. I see. Yeah, that's structurally unlikely to happen any time soon on iOS. "open a link" is not a shared idea across apps. In one app that'll be a webview, where the OS could get involved. In another app it'll just be a button - the OS doesn't know if that button is perceived by the user as a "link" or not.

So I think it'd have to be an app-review policy, and I suspect they'd have a LOT of pushback if they tried to enforce something like that.

They could have structured the OS so that each transition to a new view was a request to the operating system to open a URL, and the OS handled the routing to the browser, this app, a different app - but without that kind of a structure I don't think this very doable.
