what would deep linking (like the android/ios feature) look like for the free desktop?

obviously the android/ios feature is explicitly designed to restrict the kinds of apps that can be deep link handlers (so e.g. only the official twitter app can handle twitter links), which seems very anti-free desktop. so what would a free desktop alternative look like?

the point of deep links is that the same link works both in the browser and in an app.

also, would it be possible to extend them to, say, atom feeds? those traditionally only open in an app, but it'd be neat if they could also open in the browser.

(disclaimer: we make fedilinks https://fedilinks.org/ and it is our goal to become this, our goal is to be "deep linking for the free desktop". but alternative proposals are welcome.)
