Based on these options it’s possible to impersonate Microsoft Teams or Microsoft sign-in. BleepingComputer notes that a Windows shortcut launching the preinstalled Edge with the --app flag is enough for delivery, and Google replied that the feature “was deprecated before this research was published.”
