Use Self-Hosted Admin-Issued Registration URLs within Fluxer Desktop Client for Account Registration

Current problem

When clicking on an admin-issued registration URL in Fluxer (for example, say a user with a self-hosted instance is inviting me into their instance with an admin-issued registration URL provided in DM), it opens the link using the browser as opposed to staying within the app.

Proposed change

I recommend adding functionality to the app that allows it to recognize the URL belonging to a self-hosted instance, to then allow it to open the link to register an account using the URL, all within the app as opposed to opening a browser for account registration. Additionally, what could also be done is when adding a new instance to connect to for the desktop client's account switcher, allow the user to input the registration URL as opposed to only the domain (i.e. https://web.fluxer.app/register?khjasdlkjhna vs solely web.fluxer.app); I'd imagine this functioning in a way where it would open an account registration page with respect to the URL provided, but the client would be able to recognize the domain for the fluxer instance and automatically reference that for use on the account switcher.

Platform

macOS, Windows, Linux, Self-hosting

Additional information

I don't know the technicalities involved with my proposed change. Ultimately, the main concept is to allow use of an admin-issued registration URL within the Fluxer desktop client in the best way possible.
