Is there any method to open website (PWA) urls in the installed PWA in iOS- Safari?

Use case: I'm sending email links to login in my PWA, how can I make this url's open directly with the installed PWA instead of the browser?

If you are using Chrome in Android or any of the desktop OS, that would be the default behavior.

Check on "Android intent filter" in this link.

This feature is not supported in iOS yet for PWA apps(created using Safari- the only option for iOS as of June-2018).See "What PWAs can do on Android and not on iOS" section last point.
