Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am trying to link Audiobookshelf to the app "One Sec", but cannot do so. One Sec asks me what my intention with an app is before allowing me to open it. It uses Shortcuts to steal the focus whenever I open a configured app, then after doing my thing in One Sec it reopens the original app via deep linking. Usually it it simply accessing the url "[app name]://" which will cause that app to open, but it seems this needs to be explicitly set or something for a TestFlight app.

Describe the solution you'd like

Set a custom Url Scheme (such as "audiobookshelf://") on iOS. Display this in the settings somewhere?

Describe alternatives you've considered

I currently have a workaround by using "itms-beta://" as the url scheme, which opens TestFlight, after which I simply click open on Audiobookshelf. This adds an extra click 😭😅

Additional context

Oh and I am hooking it up to One Sec via the "Custom Apps" settings under Customise -> Advanced 👍

Seems like this is not too difficult to implement with Capacitor (in the professional opinion of a non-developer).
