Broader support on iOS for Google Drive/Docs links opening in associated iOS app

On iOS, when clicking a link to a Google Drive/Docs artifact, the behavior varies based on the Discord app's "Web Browser" setting.

When set to use Safari, clicking the link immediately opens the artifact in the associated Google Drive/Docs native app, which is what I would hope for.

However, when configured for In-App Browser or Chrome, the URL is passed to the respective browser, and it does NOT transition to the associated Google Drive/Docs native app. I would prefer/expect this to pass control/context to the respective native app.

I used a Google Sheets link as my test case.

When I configure Slack (as another example iOS messaging app) in those same associated ways, the transition to the native Google Drive/Docs does occur when following the same link from Slack, so I assume the behavior has something to do with how Discord is integrated with those browser configurations on iOS.

I wonder if this is related to the iOS - Universal Links - aka deep linking feedback topic, and maybe that represents the more general change that needs to be made to Discord on iOS to get this to work.
