Comment (by n8fr8):

 The additional idea with the " https: link with real domain name, like
 ChatSecure" proposal, is that if no app intercepts the https link, it will
 go to a page, that can offer step-by-step how-to and also a bridge: direct
 link.

 This is useful, as well, for someone who doesn't have any app installed
 yet, and is just given a bridge link. It can take them to the approach app
 download/install page.

 This is what ChatSecure does, offering an xmpp: link on the link invite
 page.
