It would be great to deeplink from external apps/email/messages to a specific coord or item in a specific project

It could be something like: app.inputapp.com/open/namespaceA/projectV?proj="xyz"&layer="layerA"&feature="10"

iOS:

https://medium.com/wolox/ios-deep-linking-url-scheme-vs-universal-links-50abd3802f97
"universal links" seem like a better option, we would need a dedicated endpoint like https://maps.google.com/apple-app-site-association

Android:

https://developer.android.com/guide/navigation/navigation-deep-link
optionally with verification of URI ownership - https://developer.android.com/training/app-links/verify-site-associations - for example https://maps.google.com/.well-known/assetlinks.json

Yeah cool. A good use case would be in OwnTracks I can send a link to the phone when an event happens e.g. entering a geofence area or some other non spatial process (e.g. hourly request to capture data). Then clicking the link in OwnTracks would pop open INPUT in a particular project and start the form capture for a specific feature type.
