Hello webkit-dev,
We would like to request for WebKit's position on a proposal to installed Web
applications to register for URL handling through the Web Application

Summary
Developers can create a more engaging experience if installed Web apps are able
to register as handlers for https URLs. We proposed a scheme for an installed
Web apps to register for URL handling behavior through the web application
manifest, such that it may launched when matching URL links are activated.
Native applications today on many operating systems (Windows, Android, iOS,
MacOS) are able to register for URL handling.
This work targets the Web Application Manifest specification
(https://www.w3.org/TR/appmanifest/<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FTR%2Fappmanifest%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cluigonza%40microsoft.com%7C0a7789fb25124dc7046108d941997961%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637612949711272971%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=DZgVX1YB4CQ2G%2BUlN%2Flr4ATGfSyOdBYOIwHNX69Co6w%3D&reserved=0>).
Changes will include recognizing a "url_handlers" field in the manifest to
register for URL handling, as well as adding a "Web App Origin Association"
supplement to the spec. that specifies how registered origins are validated.
Status
Web app URL handling is being implemented in the Chromium browser as an
experimental feature.
