The preferred way would be that apps include links they support to have those
open inside of them. Shipping a giant list of links is not really maintainable
and quickly updatable for plasma itself, so this part should be on the apps.

And yes, for example: https://youtube.com/ could be set to open in plasmatube
or freetube or whatever your default browser is.

> allow apps to *claim* URLs

This one is tricky, but could also be done, flatpak, maybe even snap advertise
apps that are maintained officially by the project, so they could be looked
upon as good actors for the most part, so these apps could CLAIM their
advertised list of links, BUT, I think it is still imperical to retain user
control, and let the user OPT-OUT of these as well, unlike on android. I say
all this, since across distros and packaging formats you can't really make sure
that a package maintainer is legit and doesn't wan't to do some sort of phising
attack (recent AUR malwares for example), so anything that is not an official
package should only be OPT-IN by default.

ANDROID AND IOS :  os <-> online list verification

These platforms have an extra layer of security check where they provide an
online list of apps and websites that are verified good pairs, and only these
signed apps can CLAIM and OWN URLs by default, I don't think this could be
easily built out for the linux land, just by virtue of packaging the apps you
will get different signatures for them, you would also need to trust all dozen
or more packagers for any given app.
