WebClip Target App Identifier

When will see Web Clips updated in Jamf Pro to include the TargetApplicationBundleIdentifier string so that we can set an app to open a Web Clip on iPadOS (e.g. set Google Chrome to open a Web Clip instead of Safari)?

These would be great quality-of-life improvements for webclips payloads.

But we currently have a workaround to get this done. If you replace the https:// portion of your web clip URL with googlechrome:// the webclip will open in chrome.

I am aware of that particular workaround. The only issue with it is that it still initially opens Safari which then re-directs to Chrome.

It would be nice to be able to open directly in Chrome.
