How to open tg://-like links

[mikhaillav]

I need to open links like tg://user?id=12345678. So for example by pressing a button you can open someones profile.

I tried to use utils.openLink and openTelegramLink (just in case).

• With openLink mini app crashed and I don't know how to fetch any debug information in this case.
• With openTelegramLink I got an error about using only t.me links (as expected).

Code to reproduce crash (assuming you have <SDKProvider />)

// page.tsx
"use client";

import { initUtils } from "@telegram-apps/sdk-react";

function openUserProfile() {
    const utils = initUtils();

    utils.openLink("tg://user?id=12345678"); // put your own id here
}

export default function Home() {
    return (
        <button onClick={openUserProfile}>
            <p>Click me!</p>
        </button>
    );
}

I also used nextjs <Link> & <a> but they don't seem to be working (just nothing happens on click).

I ran out of ideas how to implement this feature, maybe this even a bug. Will appreciate any help.

I am not sure, there is a way to open such kind of links. You could try opening them via usual way we use in browsers. In case, it works fine in all Telegram applications, we may add it in the SDK

I tried to open it via browser. It asked me to open telegram but didn't open requested chat. Thats sad. But thank you for the response!

Accroding to documentation normal clients should ignore these links. Its telegram issue.
