PWAs only work for domain, not full url path?

I tried making a PWA ("Add tab to taskbar") for "https://discord.com/channels/@me," but when I launch it, it only navigates to "https://discord.com," which is a splash page that prompts you to either download the Discord desktop app or continue on the web (clicking to continue on web then takes you to ./channels/@me). Examining the desktop shortcut for the PWA confirms that the URL it targets is "https://discord.com"; however, changing this url manually in the shortcut then relaunching it STILL only navigates to the discord.com domain, not the full discord.com/channels/@me url path that I specified.

Can anyone else confirm whether PWAs can only currently target a domain, not a specific url path?

Hi,

As far as I understand, web apps are designed for websites (domains), not webpages :(

Firefox Nightly. A test with an me.

Screenshot1. Website pinned. The path portion of the URL gets truncated.

Close window.

Screenshot2. I edited taskbartabs.json with the desired URL, and save.

Screenshot3. Start, website pinned, apparently it works.
