Open facebook link in chooser with browsers

Question

Сan we open the facebook link so that the menu selection of applications for viewing the content was still and facebook browsers? The standard startup

fun openLink(link: String) {
    Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).apply {
        flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
        data = Uri.parse(link)

        context.startActivity( this)
    }
 }

opens only browsers, and some browsers, such as chrome and edge, run another one, where then appears facebook (if it is installed), the only thing I was able to find was to open the links directly to facebook, if it is installed, without the possibility of choosing an application to open the link

Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW).apply {
            flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
            try {
                val applicationInfo: ApplicationInfo = 
                       packageManager.getApplicationInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0)
                if (applicationInfo.enabled) {
                    // http://stackoverflow.com/a/24547437/1048340
                    data = Uri.parse("fb://facewebmodal/f?href=https://facebook.com/")
                }
            } catch (ignored: PackageManager.NameNotFoundException) {
                data = Uri.parse("https://facebook.com/")
            }

            startActivity(this)
        }

are you familiar with EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS? create two separate Intents (if fb app present and enabled) and join them

Intent chooserIntent = Intent.createChooser(browserIntent, "Open in...");
if (fbIntent != null) {
    chooserIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INITIAL_INTENTS, new Intent[] { fbIntent });
}
startActivity(chooserIntent);
