ROBLOX and ROBLOX-PLAYER link types on UWP app being removed/assigned to ROBLOX-UWP-MIGRATION

One of my external apps relies on the ROBLOX & ROBLOX-PLAYER link types for windows:
https://create.roblox.com/docs/production/promotion/deeplinks#direct-to-app
The documentation here suggests using roblox://parameters, however the new(er) UWP app does not support this. It instead uses ROBLOX-UWP-MIGRATION, which doesn’t seem to share any properties with roblox:// or roblox-player://.

For example, before I could run roblox://placeId=7871169780, however roblox-uwp-migration://placeId=7871169780 does not work

This is one of the core dependencies of my app!

  • OS: Windows 11 Pro (64-bit)
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor
  • RAM: 15.9 GB

Expected behavior

Previously, the UWP app mirrored the behavior of the web version (installed when you try to play a game on roblox.com) with links. this behavior was seemingly not transferred when the app was remade.
