Is it possible to automatically open Lemmy links in Liftoff instead of the browser when opening them from another app?

Are you talking about lemmy links? If so, you can force an app to open them but it depends on your phone manufacturer and whether or not that setting is hidden. For Xiaomi, you need an app to access hidden settings (you may want to enable a DNS adblocker or something similar before using this) so you can force your chosen Lemmy app to open all Lemmy links in-app.

edit: for any Xiaomi users that read this in the future, download the app I linked above ("Hidden Settings for MIUI").

Open it
Click "Manage Applications"
Find your Lemmy app in the list, click on it
Scroll down to "Open by default"
under the verified links header should be an "Add link" button, click that and tick every option that pops up. If Add link doesn't appear, then your Lemmy app hasn't associated any links with itself - let the dev know, because they need to do this otherwise the app is not capable of opening Lemmy links! Right now, only Summit and Jerboa seem to support opening Lemmy links.

Oh yes, sorry, I edited my post.

I've got a Samsung S21FE.

Try this guide (teddit mirror, libreddit mirror); look around for how people do this for Revanced because it's a very common question that comes up and someone might have the answer for you.

Also, only Summit and Jerboa seem to support this at the moment. @[email protected] needs to add link associations in the Liftoff app :)
