Any way to open an app from Telegram bot?
I've coded a Telegram bot (python-telegram-bot) and I would like to know if there's a way to open an app from the bot.
To be more accurate, the bot searches torrent links and the original idea was to send that links directly to qBitTorrent in the user's computer but unfortunately I'm stuck in that step, so for the moment I though about give the user the magnet link so it can be pasted in the qBitTorrent app. The thing is that it would great to automaticly open the app from the bot.
Thanks in advance!

Why do you want that? What you expected to do is a very malicious action...

@n40k1 Maybe you can make the magnet links "clickable"? Like a pasted URL which will take you to the default browser once you click on it. Or is this working already and you really just wanted the app to automatically open?

Generally speaking, you're right: one Android app is able to start another app.
However, in this case, this is not your app, we're talking about, but you want another app (Telegram) to open another app. So you have to rely on what that app (Telegram) provides you with their API.
You can have a look at Telegram's bot API at https://core.telegram.org/bots/api There is no method to execute commands or open another app. So it will not be possible for you to open another app with your Telegram bot.
