#Opening specific dashboards as intent in app from mylink redirect

Is it possible to somehow redirect using an url to a specific dashboard which will open in the Home assistant app?

Using something like https://myurl/lovelace/home will open in a webpage, where you will have to log in, whereas this is not needed in the app.

I found https://my.home-assistant.io/create-link/ however there doesn't seem to be an option to link to a specific dashboard.

I do understand that the dashboard may not exist, but my real purpose is to just link to the /lovelace/home on my own domain, inside the app (android or ios), which does exists usually.

Where do you want to open it from? A notification? Something else?

Just generic, from anywhere using an url on a phone. Such as WhatsApp, Chrome, Gmail ...
With the purpose to send a home asistant user in the Home assistant instance to a specific dashboard inside the ios or android app.

I believe the only way you could do that would be with a notification to the specific device(s) you want to open the companion app on. As a generic URI handler, I don't think that would work.

That's unfortunate. So it would only work if an "send to dashboard" option is added to the my homeassistant link or if i sent the user a manual notification.
In the case of a notification, how would this be done?

Even then, it would be difficult for a device to determine if a URL should open an app differently than a normal URL.
