React Native generating and Sharing a deep link on social media

I am developing a mobile app, in which i have to share a post on social media, we dont have the website for this app, only mobile app, i read some articles, in which they use the Linking api , but i don't understand

  1. how am i suppose to generate a link like myapp://post/123
  2. after generating, how can i share it on social media, if i use the Share API, it is only shared as a text, and not a clickable hypertext.
    1. after sharing a clickable link, how can i program it to open my mobile app, and check if the user does not have the app installed ,then redirect them to playstore, and if they have the app installed , then open the mobile app, and navigate to the screen i want it to.

can someone please guide me the flow of doing this, or if you have an article explaining this, or maybe some example on github.

Thank you.
