If this item can be displayed by any system UI surface, or can be read by another Android package, through one of the androidx.appsearch.app.SetSchemaRequest.Builder methods, this url should act as a deeplink into the activity that can open it. Callers should be able to construct an ACTION_VIEW intent with the url as the setData to view the item inside your application.

See Allowing Other Apps to Start Your Activity for more details on how to make activities in your app open for use by other apps by defining intent filters.
