How does passing links to a native app from chrome work on the fly?

Question

Google Chrome

I use Ummy Video Downloader. I was interested in how links like ummy://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id_vidos are intercepted by a third-party application. Where can you read about it?

Answer 1

Google "custom url protocol", "URI scheme"
