Microsoft Teams Redirect URL to a Thread or Group Conversation

I've been using the next URL to redirect any user to their private chat with our MS Teams App:

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=28:b9cc7986-dd56-4b57-ab7d-9c4e5288b775

with b9cc7986-dd56-4b57-ab7d-9c4e5288b775 being the App Id of out bot (sample App Id in this case).

This URL will open the private MS Teams Chat with the user clicking the URL and our App on any client (Mobile, Desktop, Browser) without opening any web pages if not needed. The clients can handle the URL themselves. You can try it with this provided sample URL.

What would be a proper way to be able to redirect to a group conversation or thread?

I've thought about using the Conversation Id (or other Ids available in our MS Teams App) or something but couldn't find any good documentation or examples online.

You can use Deep Links to accomplish that, specifically deep linking to a chat. As shown in that link, you can link to specific users, but also set a conversation topic as well as an initial message. One thing that's often overlooked, just fyi, is this sentence:

New chats are created in draft state until the user sends the first message
