Deeplink to Social Media Apps via Mobile Phone

Hi community!

Could you help me with an issue? I already read several old articles on the topic and am wondering if anyone found a solution:

I use wixLocation.to with a link to social media. This should be automatically triggered when a user enters a certain link. Unfortunately, the link does not open in a new tab and therefore the native app on the phone does not open.
I know there is the solution of adding the link to a button but this would be an extra step for the visitor and is unnecessary in my opinion.
As far as I know a router is also not opening the link in a new tab but also redirecting…

Is there a solution to use “instagram://” as a link that is recognized by wixLocation.to ?
Thanks so much for your help!

I see! You can use “CUSTOM CODE” (under your wix dashboard) and wix-window (postMessage()) feature to “skip” the limitation of the Velo API.
