None of these applications have their link formats documented. Unfortunately it is not as simple just to send the https linkto the app to work. For example, for Zoom you need to convert https link to zoommtg (seeZoom URL Schemes), other applications expectdifferent link formats, and usually we can find the scheme, but know nothing about what kind of parameters we need to attach.

OpenIn at this point knows only about Zoom. I would love to add support for other applications, if those applicationsare popular, and they have their URL schemes documented.

Imagine a situation without OpenIn. You have a Chrome browser and a Safari browser. On your Mac you configuredSafari browser as a default browser. When you click links in Chrome, would you expect that Safari would open thoselinks all the time? No.

OpenIn works the same way as any other browser on your Mac, it does not “hack” the system. It only can open the linksthat were sent to the system (Mac). But browsers don’t do that, they keep all the opened links inside the browser.

Is it possible to implement in future versions of OpenIn? I can think of one of two options:

• Implement a browser extension for every possible browser. That will require a lot of work. I am Indiedeveloper and don’t have resources at this point to build extension for every browser. But I might in the future.

• Implement some kind of hack for the Mac to be able to do that. By overriding events inside the browser. I would notdo that. I only use the API and capabilities provided by Apple.
