[Feature Request] Open Installed apps by default from edge
hussain5416 we are actually working on this currently from three different perspectives:
1. doctype handling (so you would be able to set your Word PWA as the default app for .docx files
2. protocol handling (so if you clicked on a mailto:// link, it could launch your Mail PWA)
3. URI handling (so if the PWA registered, any links to "twitter.com" could open in the Twitter PWA)

Thanks for the suggestion, as it strengthens our conviction that we're doing the right things.
