Hopefully I can explain this without confusing anyone...

I have some folks working with their tablets with collecting data on Field Maps, except they sometimes get confused between the app and maps on their browser.  They would sometimes end up attempting to update data on the Experience Builder through the browser instead of in Field Maps and they, unsurprisingly, would get lost as to where they need to actually go to collect data.

Is it possible to output a link such that when someone taps on the link on their tablet, it'll switch to the Field Maps app and open whatever map that's referenced on the link?  Kind of like if you were to tap on a YouTube link in your tablet it'll automatically switch you to the YouTube app to play that video.

Have you tried building a Field Map link?

This is possible through custom url schemes as david has linked above.

Please post this as a question, not an idea.
