I'm developing an app with ionic 5 (react) and capacitor.js. I have a handler for performing a task when I receive a push notification and take an action (currently I'm just logging out the data). What I need to happen in this handler is to route the user to a specific route in the app e.g. myapp/my-movies/:movie-id
. Originally I thought I'd need to use a plugin to support universal links, but now I'm questioning that mainly because we aren't launching to production a corresponding web/pwa application, and my understanding is that a universal link is one that ties a website URL to an app-specific URI Scheme & Route (from this helpful SO post). I'm also reading that universal links are a forced replacement for custom uri schemes, and the more I read, the less clear this becomes.
So my question is, How can I route to an specific, authenticated uri in my app from an event handler in a push notification? (assuming its installed) Can this be accomplished using a plugin like the capacitor.js deeplinks or ionic/native ? It looks like I'll need to create "a two-way association between your website and app", but like I mentioned, we don't have an accompanying website for this app.
