Open music link

I used to be able to open music in YouTube, Apple Music or Spotify.
I don’t know why this feature was removed but I haven’t had the need to use Opener ever since.
I don’t even know why I still have it.

Essential!

Opener lets me open what I want, where I want. I couldn’t live without it.

Great app

Thanks for creating such an amazing app. I use it regularly to navigate between apple - Google - Waze maps.

I noticed recently after iOS 26.5 update that opening from Apple Maps now includes irrelevant actions such as stream media in infuse or in opplayer light. And no options to open in Google or Waze maps. Please help resolve this 🙏
