Are iOS app clips launchable from an URL?
The Apple description says that the QR code embeds an encrypted URL to access the clips. Is it possible to use directly that link like with deep links?

If I understood correctly, you can set up invocation URLs in App Store Connect and when the system opens a registered URL your App Clip should launch.
You can learn more in this WWDC session and from the documentation.
As I understand, URLs can only be opened from Safari Smart App Banner. I managed to do that. Apple states in their forums that it is also possible from QR codes.
Looks like you can't just click a link - like in Universal Link - and the App Clip Card will show up.
When a user shares a link to a site that displays a smart banner configured for AppClip, then only message will present a banner that will invoke an App Clip.
