Good afternoon!
As you know, on a computer to use WhatsApp, you can use WhatsApp Web or an application.
There is a task to follow the link to go to a specific dialog (user), respectively, either in the application or in the web version.
Whatsapp:// format links open the application, but do not proceed to the dialogue.
I did not find any get-parameters in the web version.
Tried already such variants for links - do not work.

<a href="whatsapp://tel:+12345678">to whatsapp protocol 2</a> <br>
<a href="whatsapp://+12345678">to whatsapp protocol 3</a> <br>
<a href="whatsapp://call?number=+12345678">to whatsapp protocol 4</a> <br>
<a href="whatsapp://send?abid=+12345678&text=HeyThere!">whatsapp 5</a> <br>
<a href="whatsapp://send?abid=Anna&text=HeyThere!">whatsapp 6</a> <br>

Maybe there is some solution?

Custom URL Scheme
WhatsApp provides a custom URL scheme to interact with WhatsApp:
If you have a website and want to open a WhatsApp chat with a pre-filled message, you can use our custom URL scheme to do so. Opening whatsapp://send?text= followed by the text to send, will open WhatsApp, allow the user to choose a contact, and pre-fill the input field with the specified text.

there is nothing more.

If anyone needs it, here's how I did it:
Number without a plus, from the seven.
PS: The WhatsApp website has an example of opening a chat and a web version, but there is a redirect to WhatsApp.com first.
So it can be considered an undocumented feature

You don't understand how messengers work. You can't open a chat from the link. To write a message to a person, his phone number must be initially in the address book.

Hey! There is such a thing called “link constructor”, with its help you can redirect the client from the site or from anywhere to a new dialogue, you can even write a start phrase for further communication with the counterpart. The link is generated from the official Whatsapp website, that is, in theory, your interlocutor will not have to suspect something is wrong. There are many options for how you can compose this link, but I found a convenient mechanism here https://chat-api.com/en/whatsapp-link-constructor.html . These guys have an API, but I used them in order to simply not print the link myself, but immediately take the finished version. Try it, maybe this is what you need.
