Without an app
Click the link, and let the page in the browser open the app. Most browsers ask first, and some can remember your answer. The browser tab stays open.
For Figma, turn on “Open links in desktop app” in the preferences of Figma in the browser. It works for links to Figma files, not for other Figma pages. Figma’s instructions.
