Start Android apps from a note

Hello,
I was trying to find some very simple way to start an android app from an Obsidian note when clicked.
After some research, I came up with the simple HTML command

<a href="bing://">Bing</a>

which works as intended.
Strangely enough though, something like

<a href="bitwarden://">BITWARDEN</a>

will not work in Obsidian but will work in an internet browser like Firefox.
Finally, e.g.

<a href="netflix://">NETFLIX</a>

won’t work at all, in either case.
Any idea, anyone?
Thanks!

On iOS you can use URL schemes to launch other apps using external Markdown links. e.g. this opens a new/blank note in Drafts when clicking on it in Obsidian:

[drafts](drafts://create?)

You could try something like that

Hi Ariehen,

Thanks for the proposed solution.
I couldn’t find a way to make that work though.
