1. Web-based protocol handlers
  
  from fediverse
  
  ## Idea We all are familiar with protocol handlers, e.g. ```html Email ``` The idea here is to use [Web-based protocol handlers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerProtocolHandler/Web-based_protocol_handlers) in the form ```html Object ``` to offer the option to link to ActivityStream objects such that they can be opened by an appropriate application. ### Goal Increased interoperability between FediVerse applications. The following actions should be simplified: - Reply to content on another FediVerse application - Announce content from another FediVerse application - Like content from another FediVerse application Currently, they require finding the items `id` and then looking it up using your own FediVerse application. ### Difficulties Given the various use cases of the FediVerse, e.g. link aggregation, microblogging, or photosharing, one might want to specify more than just `web+fedi`. According to [registerProtocolHandler](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerProtocolHandler), one can just specify a list of lower case letters after `web+`. So some thoughts should be given to interoperability concerns. ### Links For a discussion for Android and more links, see [ Possible FEP proposal: cross-Android app way to open Object ](https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/possible-fep-proposal-cross-android-app-way-to-open-object/2985) - [Fedi-Go](https://github.com/fedi-to/fedi-to.github.io)

  Isn't there a URL schema for #Mastodon toots? It would be awesome if the Mastodon app could open any mastodon link for any instance, since it's impossible for it to handle all possible instances natively... Most times it opens in the web browser.
