In the browser, Moodle supports "shortcut URLs" for courses  ([https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Course_FAQ#Is_there_a_shortcut_URL_to_a_course.3F[]). |https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Course_FAQ#Is_there_a_shortcut_URL_to_a_course.3F.] Rather than specifying the course id in the URL, the course shortname can be used.

So, for example, our Student Resources course can be accessed using

<site URL>/course/view.php?id=395

OR

<site URL>/course/view.php?name=Student

In the mobile app, the former links within the app; while the latter link opens in the browser.

To recreate:

1. In Moodle site admin
   1. Create a custom menu item in the mobile app settings that links to the course shortname of an existing course: URL (Moodlesite)/course/view.php?name=shortname
   2. Add "app" for link opening method,
2. In app
   1. Access custom menu and tap custom menu item created above

What I expected: The link to open in the app.

What happened: The link opened in the browser.
