It's more than just configuring an intent in an Android page.

Take a look at this article: https://codewithandrea.com/articles/flutter-deep-links/
There must be server verification too.

I wasn't able to make deep linking work on Android with https scheme, but it works pretty well with a custom theme, e.g. flet we use in a Flet app published to Google Store.

Also, there is a trick to make your app open by clicking a link with a custom theme. If you click flet://something on a web page it will give you a "Not found" response, but if you trigger URL redirection via JavaScript it works:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <title>Redirect Page</title>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <style>
        a {
            display: inline-block;
            padding: 12px 24px;
            background-color: #98d7fb;
            color: #333;
            text-decoration: none;
            border-radius: 25px;
            font-family: sans-serif;
            font-size: 11pt;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <script>
        // Get the URL from the path
        const url = "flet://flet-host/http%3A%2F%2F" + window.location.pathname.slice(1);

        // Create the button element
        const button = document.createElement('a');
        button.href = url;
        button.textContent = 'Open the project in Flet app';
        document.body.appendChild(button);

        // Set the meta refresh tag
        document.querySelector('head').innerHTML += `<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=${url}" />`;
    </script>
</body>

</html>
