alt Hacker NewsHuh, I thought I'd seen notifications and app URI handlers in a Tauri app. Maybe they were using a custom Wix builder and not the Tauri template though.

Yes it should be doable manually, not like this is a complex feature.
Speaking of URI handlers, any idea what this bit in Microsoft's docs is supposed to mean?
> Starting with the Windows 10 Creators update and in all Windows 11 versions, supported links clicked in Microsoft Edge Legacy will launch the corresponding app. Supported links clicked in supported browsers (for example, Microsoft Edge Chromium, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.), will keep you in the browsing experience.
I can think of two ways to interpret it, neither of which seems good:
1) It doesn't work at all in any modern browser, and "supported" is the term Microsoft has chosen to describe this state of affairs?
2) Microsoft is sneakily installing a Firefox extension to subvert URL handling and embed UWP apps inside Firefox ("the browsing experience")?
