Link URL to Team Channel
- The only way this works is if the user is already joined to the Team. You can right click a channel and get link to get a link to the channel if they would be part of it already and use that URL.
I would leverage what you can take from this Microsoft document on Teams chat/channel 'Deep Link' URLs.
- NB - For others reading this, as the OP mentioned, when relating to Teams teams, each 'chat' is a 'channel' so ensure that you have this noted at least in your head 🙂

Structural Differences Between Chat And Channel Deep Links
There's a subtle difference between these, which is easiest noted by showing you:
A teams chat link:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/19:INSERT_CHANGEABLE_ID_OF_CHAT@thread.v2/conversationsA teams channel link:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/channel/19:INSERT_CHANGEABLE_ID_OF_CHANNEL@thread.tacv2/conversationsObviously using the 19:whatever @ thread.etc in the correct context, above.
NB - The document does not detail how this is affected by Microsoft's recent (last few months) switch to a cloud . microsoft . com domain at the base of it all, however, they appear to redirect perfectly, so for now that can be ignored

Getting those is less obvious, and if I can edit it answer, I will, but there are a few ways, of which I will list some now that are not particularly 'easy' for the lay person, but should be doable with a brief startpage search for 'how to' stuffs:
- Watch your browser tools/toolbox in the 'network' and/or 'console' section for anything with 'thread' in it
- Look at the page code and there should be IDs in the HTML
- Use the group ID (object ID in Entra) with this graph API request:/teams/TEAM_ID/channels
