Note that you can change the settings the other way around too - if you go

I couldn't see an "Open by default" in my general Android settings or
the browser settings. Which did you mean (and which version of Android?
Mine's 13).

 
14, GrapheneOS but I don't think they change that bit?

I don't understand what clevelink is. Is it an app of some sort? If so,
it's not available from the Play Store or F-Droid.

I think clevelink is an app developed by the guy making that post. He's
trying to get his Github web link to open his app and asking for help.

That's not relevant, but the post shows the 'Open by default' screen for a
random app, which happens to be clevelink in this post but could equally be
BBC News.  And that's on a Samsung running Android 13, so it's not a special
14 feature.
