Specification

None

Summary

New Web App Manifest member to control what happens when the user navigates
to a page within scope of an installed web app.

This feature introduces the "capture_links" member, an enumeration allowing
the customization of link capturing behaviour, allowing sites to:

- Automatically open a new PWA window when the user clicks a link to their
app.

- Have a "single window mode" like mobile apps.

RisksInteroperability and Compatibility

Very small, since any browser not implementing this will just fall back to
the standard behaviour, which is to navigate to links in a browser tab.
This member is also forwards compatible as it can accept a list of
behaviours, older browsers will bypass any new ones that are added later.
Gecko: No signal

Edge: Strong positive, this compliments their efforts for url_handlers
<https://github.com/WICG/pwa-url-handler/blob/master/explainer.md>.

WebKit: No signal

Web developers: No signals


Reason this experiment is being extended
A new API shape, Launch Handling
<https://github.com/WICG/sw-launch/blob/main/launch_handler.md>, has
evolved from the current spec work on Declarative Link Capturing and URL
Handlers. Transition doc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w9qHqVJmZfO07kbiRMd9lDQMW15DeK5o-p-rZyL7twk/edit#>
.
This extension is being requested to enable existing uses of the DLC
experiment transition over to the Launch Handling API once it is ready for
experimentation.
Previous experiment timeline: M90 to M93
Requested extension timeline: M94 to M97


Ongoing technical constraints

None

Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac,
Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?

Not supported on Android, their window model doesn’t make sense for
“new-client”.

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
?

No
