Gallery doesn't open control pages when linked from web

[Jay-o-Way]

Which version of the app?

WinUI 3 Gallery

Description

Looks like most of the winui3gallery:/item/<control> links on MS Learn are broken.

• Open a page for a control
• Go to the button "Open the WinUI 3 Gallery app..." and click it
• App opens, but on homepage

Which link? I couldn't find any broken links. 🤔

Sorry, I should have been more precise. Updated ⬆️

Oh, that link. That's strange. I tried Edge and Chrome and both work on my end. 🤔

Have you tried winui3gallerydev://item/AutoSuggestBox? If it's reproducible, you might be able to debug it by adding logs. 🤔

[AndrewKeepCoding]

If it's reproducible with winui3gallerydev://item/AutoSuggestBox, you should be able to debug by placing System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch() in OnLaunched().

I'm also unable to reproduce this, closing for now but feel free to reopen if you have more information @Jay-o-Way

Oh I was just able to reproduce this using the Breadcrumbar page, I think the link in the docs page is just broken. Thank you for raising this issue @Jay-o-Way !
I have filed a PR to address this on the docs side of things.
