Is it possible to automatically open Lemmy links in Liftoff instead of the browser when opening them from another app?

I'm not super techy, but I think the app has to say somewhere what links it can open itself. I know Jerboa can be used to open Lemmy links; but it seems to be the only Android app that can, for some reason.

The app has to define specific links, so Jerboa just has a long list of instances copied from wherever. I wonder if Android supports changing these from the app itself?

I don't think it does that I know of. A freely hosted list of links that each app could include at build stage would be pretty good and easy to incorporate into the pipeline.
