what is deep linking ? Deep Linking is the ability to trigger functionality within application from external sources sometimes with data that can enable that functionality to be carried out

Deep Linking in applications (both mobile and desktop) is one of the lesser documented development process on the internet despite many popular applications making use of this technique, from Instagram to VSCode they all have instance of deep linking in them but articles covering the how are few and far between. Which is why this one exists along with it's companion piece for Electron, to help guide developers to implementing Deep Linking without having to dig through very verbose articles that beat around the bush or present outdated techniques
