Hi Krzysztof,
In theory apps are capable of defining handlers for custom urls. When
an app or a scope tells the system that a link should be opened by
another app, the system will check for a matching url handler and if
there are multiple ones, ask the user which one he wants to use. I
don't know if the browser app currently supports that without clicking
the share button but I can tell you that Forum Browser (yes, it's me,
its developer ;)) has no way of registering such a handler that works
for all forums. Wikipedia links have a limited set of domains, but as
you know there are hundreds of thousands of forums out there which
support the Tapatalk API. Even if we had access to a list of all of
them (which we don't), we still couldn't add hundreds of thousands of
url handlers to the app.
I guess that the reason why this works so well on Android and iOS is
that the Tapatalk plugin on the website can detect if the user uses an
Android or iOS device and if he or she does, it can send an "Intent"
(that's what it is called on Android) to open the link in the official
Tapatalk app.
I'm sorry if this is not the response you hoped for but it's sadly not
in my power to change that.
Cheers,
Niklas

Hello,
while using web browser and click on link to Wikipedia website or
forum with Tapatalk plugin, I expect that my action will open app
dedicated for that action. For now, it's not working, still opening
that links in web browser. Which site that problem stand for - third
party app (that is not developed to work in that way) or browser app
(that don't allow/can't do that)?
Where should I report that bug?
In example new version of
https://uappexplorer.com/app/wikipedia.mattirn supports for now
opening wiki article from NearBy scope, but not from browser.
