Title: Need to allow multiple apps to handle the same url patterns Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in content-hub package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in url-dispatcher package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Steps: * install gmail and dekko apps Expected: * when using a mailto: URL (see bug #1351222) URL, the user should be asked which app to open (and cache the response optionally?) Current: * not sure what would happen ;) ________________Design resolution _________________________ Case 1: If no email client is installed and a user clicks on a 'mail to' link, the user should be prompted to download the Dekko app. Case 2: If the user has Dekko installed, then clicking on the 'mail to' link should open the Dekko client --> compose mail screen to the 'mail to' address. Case 3: If the user has Dekko and Gmail installed, the 'mail to' link by default should open in the Dekko client. However, the user can change their mail client preferences in system settings. Case 4: If the user has Gmail and another mail client installed, the 'mail to' link should default to the first client that was installed on their device (which would be the default mail client preference in system settings - this can be changed by the user via system settings). Notes: 1. Wherever the user has not actively changed a mail client preference and Dekko is installed on their device, the default 'mail to' client should be Dekko. 2. When clicking on a 'mail to' link, the user's expectation is to have this link open in a relevant client (unless it is case 1), therefore this should be the case and any mail preference choices the user can perform via system settings rather than being presented with multiple choice options of which client to open the URL in. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/URLDispatcher>: "Whenever the URL dispatcher is called on to open an address that multiple apps have registered for, it should open a “Use App” dialog, with a centered grid of labelled buttons with the icon for each applicable app, followed by a “Cancel” button."
