Would love the ability to hot link, for example a sale on a product so when they click on popup notification it opens the app to that product, or, if i want to hotlink from an ad or from a url, like a password reset success.
I think what you’re describing should start working once deep linking is integrated. Here’s what I found on their product roadmap.

Hi @Naturaw,
This is on our product roadmap, and we hope to implement it soon.
Roadmap does not link to a product “road map”…just the top level of the knowledgebase articles. ???
@milkrow We’re upgrading our product roadmap. Its expected to go live in a couple of weeks.
@milkrow This feature is now live.
If you now nagivate to any of your web links, under the link you’ll see an option called “Open in external brower”. If you toggle this on, your app users will be redirected to the default browser of the device, where that particular link will open.
I see this in the menu builder area. However, the more critical issue is that links in the web view (meaning, links on the website seen within the browser that go to other websites) do not open in a native browser. Rather, they open within web view. Is there a way to allow outbound links on a Wordpress site to launch in a native browser from within the WebView. How can this be addressed?
UPDATE: I’ve just seen the ability in the header (see Navigation > turn on Header Menu) to have the three vertical dot menu which pops up the options including “open in external browser”. Would it be possible to trigger a menu of this type for each link? It would also be helpful to have some control over this popup were permitted in the builder to edit menu options and colors (similar to the options available to style the header).
Thank you for addressing this in the app. Very much appreciated. 
One other thought here…is there a way to have a dedicated “open in external browser” button in the header?
After waiting three weeks to get a response on this, I’d very much like to hear from the AMS team as to why this isn’t working. I’ve tested it numerous times and it does not work on an iphone as described below. Please advise.
This feature does NOT work on iphone. I’ve tested it several times. It works in the preview, but NOT on an actual device. I’m on an iphone 16, iOS 18.6.2. Are there exceptions or limitations as to which iOS this works for? Is there any documentation to read on this?
I’m only seeing the ability to choose “open in external browser” with WebView as the link type. This does not work for links such as Pages > Home.
I’ve tried to investigate what happens if I choose to sync with my Wordpress menu, but when toggling on that feature, it doesn’t load/refresh….so I cannot test it to see if those menu items load in an external browser. Please advise.
