... what?

Yes? That's the definition of a deep link? The way you get notified is you open their app...

This is a special case when you don't already have the app installed, but being able to read the clipboard without warning is it's own thing, but this specific deep link use-case is extremely benign...

Ideally, we’d be able to differentiate between local parsing (which I’d deem acceptable) and a remote request, but that quickly enters a gray area. How long after parsing do we validate a request? Is it even viable for a compiler to track the status of a property beyond assignment? And for how long? etc.
