What do you think about having a custom URI scheme for the fediverse? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Since we are in the fediverse, I think it would be convenient to have a fediverse-wide resolvable fediverse URI scheme, that would look like so:

fediverse://

On android, when you click a link that has an association with an app you get the choice to open the app instead of being redirected to the website. Example picture of boost with a few dozen urls Right now every app developer for the fediverse needs to maintain a list of instances for this. If you had a protocol instead you would only need to specify the one.
