I'm unable to find any info on this, but perhaps I've rolled a nat 1 on investigation...
I'd like to provide players with a link which opens their D&D Beyond app, rather than a browser. I can't find any documentation which mentions a URI, so I'm wondering whether it's simply not a thing?
I would imagine it's something along the lines of: ddb://characters/:id
Basically so that players can open the link and be taken to the native app, rather than a browser tab.
We play online, and use a combination of apps and such to do so. Flipping between browser tabs is less convenient than flipping between apps.
When running a campaign, it's nice to be able to provide players with a list of links they can click at the start of a session to be game-ready, and so that everyone is using the same tools.
Whether they were taken to the campaign or their character, being taken into the native app would be very cool.
Alt + Tab is definitely easier between different apps, than through tabs/browser windows. There's an element of distinctive-ness when cycling apps, that is lost between browser windows and/or tabs.

I used to talk to Player Characters, but then they made a meme out of guards who used to be adventurers until they took an arrow to the knee, and after that, I just didn't feel my 2 copper opinion was all that interesting, to be honest.
Another use case is linking the Character sheets to customized 1 inch NFC coins (or QR Codes). These coins are great for brining things up on your phone where:
Keyboard shortcuts like Alt+Tab (and more importantly ctrl/cmd+tab for tab switching within a browser window) are typically not available.
Currently, through the URL Share link, the coins will bring up a browser window not the native app
Just ended up here looking for this as well. Was on discord on my iPhone, went to a campaign link. Link opened up the browser webpage which would require signing in again instead of just going to the app where I'm already signed in.

D&D Beyond StaffCould you tell me why you'd like to use it this way?

I want to gift my players these tokens to use in our games, but right now linking to the Browser version of their sheet is less than Ideal.

I second this would be a great feature to have to be able to have the option to open the links in directly to the app, could then use Siri Shortcuts
Yes, I would love to be able to do this. I have NFC Tags lying around that I could put under the base of my mini to bring up the character sheet.
