Re:Skiff – Privacy-first end-to-end encrypted email by holmesworcester on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @09:20AM (#37235447)
Group invite links in Signal work similarly to Skiff: they reveal a key to the client side js so it can either present users with a Signal download link or open a URI, depending on whether they already have Signal or not. (Signal chooses not to use a URI in this case because it would break for anyone without Signal.)

So if a Signal group is using group invite links they have the same problem Skiff does.

What I would like to exist is something like Subresource Integrity [1] but for a URL itself, so that you could include a hash in a URL and let the browser warn you if the page source doesn't match the hash.
