Register Pinafore as destination for "Open in"

[Krinkle]

I'd be great to be able to take a link from an instant message and/or the Mastodon post page in a browser, and open it in Pinafore to then eg like/bookmark/boost, read thread, find user profile etc.

This would mean Pinafore is listed as app destination, similar to how eg RSS readers, alternate browsers, and IM apps are destinations when opening the share menu from a browser tab.

When selected it would use the search feature behind the scenes and eg expand the first and only result right away, if the URL-like value turns out to indeed yield a result.

I could have sworn this feature had already shipped in the web platform, but I just checked, and it looks like it's in development for Edge but no other browser right now. But it would indeed be a cool feature!
