How to open Lemmy link in app instead of browser?

When I receive a Lemmy email notification on my phone, and I click on the link inside, it goes to the webpage in my browser, instead of opening in the CONNECT app. How do I reassign that? I'm using Google Pixel 7 with Android 13

You would need something like Lemmy Redirect to set the default links

- Got me all excited until this:
  
  Lemmy Redirect currently supports the following clients:
  
  Jerboa Liftoff Summit

  The description may need an update, the app lists these when I open it:
  
  Boost, Eternity, Jerboa, Liftoff, Summit, Sync

Looks like connect doesn't have that option. If you long press on the application icon and go to properties. You can see this under "Set as default". I checked it for connect and didn't see any URLs but I do see them in boost for lemmy.

- Could you explain that a bit further please? I'm using Boost and links in General aren't working for me.
  
  If I open a lemmy instance in Chrome or Firefox, I didn't find a way yet to open it in Boost. Neither the "Open with App" nor the Share button seem to work.
  
  Even if I click on a link in Boost, it just opens in my default browser which is very inconvenient.

  Go to Boost app in your setting app.
