Windows App - Uniform Resource Identifier schemes - not supported?

Hi. I have been looking for a way to start a desktop session or remote app using the new Windows App from a users desktop as a shortcut. But I can only find documentation on the Remote Desktop Client for AVD: Uniform Resource Identifier schemes with the Remote Desktop client for Azure Virtual Desktop | Microsoft Learn

Has anyone come across a way of accomplish this feature in Windows App?

I can use ms-avd:connect?workspaceId=INSERTIDHERE&resourceid=INSERTIDHERE&username=email address removed for privacy reasons&version=0 fine, but it opens Remote Desktop Client for AVD, which I know Windows App uses for connecting to AVD, but it does not open the other assisting apps that Windows App opens then connection via the Windows App UI.

    The windows app only supports pinning a app or desktop to your favorites within the windows app.

      I know that to be true, I just wanted to know if anyone had come across a hack for it :)
