[BUG] Cannot open https://telegram.me/share/?url=<message> with Telegram Web

[zstadler]

Describe the bug
Airalo and probably other websites are using links of the form https://telegram.me/share/?url=<message with URL> to allow users to send messages with Telegram. Such links works well when opened in a mobile device where the Telegram App is installed. However, it does not work on Chrome or Firefox browser running on a Win11 PC where Telegram Desktop is not installed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Verify that Telegram Desktop is not installed on a PC running Win11
2. Open https://telegram.me/share/?url=Hey,... in a browser
3. Click the "Share" button
4. Nothing happens

Expected behavior
The message should open in Telegram Web as if it is being forwarded, at the stage of selecting the recipients.

Screenshots
Expect this screen when opening the above link.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Browser: chrome
• Version: 127.0.6533.120 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Browser: firefox
• Version: 115.14.0esr (64-bit)

For our reference, this is how WhatsApp handles the same scenario:

1. This is the initial screen - the equivalent of the above Telegram screenshot
   

2. This screen is shown after clicking "continue to chat", and it detect WhatsApp Desktop is not installed
   

3. This screen is shown after clicking "use WhatsApp Web"
