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

I'm not super techy, but I think the app has to say somewhere what links it can open itself. I know Jerboa can be used to open Lemmy links; but it seems to be the only Android app that can, for some reason.

The app has to define specific links, so Jerboa just has a long list of instances copied from wherever. I wonder if Android supports changing these from the app itself?

I don't think it does that I know of. A freely hosted list of links that each app could include at build stage would be pretty good and easy to incorporate into the pipeline.

Summit can also do so, although its list is more limited than Jerboa's.
