Shared Mode, Browser app access?

I have a need to allow my Shared Mode headsets access to the Browser app.  Support told me this was currently not an option.  Please allow this app to be added to the managed apps page on the work.meta.com site > Apps & content page.  It should be up to me (the admin) whether that app is secure or not for my use.
I'd also really like it if I can set the starting page of the Browser app to a specific URL in this scenario.

My use case for this is...

We're a construction MEP engineering firm where we're primarily using the headsets with the Autodesk Workshop XR app, BUT we have a need to also access Matterport's website to view 3D scans in VR.  I would however prefer to setup our headsets in Shared Mode so that many different users can simply hop on a shared headset and more easily get right into these specific workflows.

    Is it not possible to give users access to another weber-enabled browser?

      I do not see any other apps in that list that stand out as an internet browser.  Am I missing something?

        You might be able to use Wolvic as an 'externally hosted' application, but I have not tried. The chromium version may work better for webxr.

      I did, the support rep told me the stock Browser app was not supported and pointed me to a link that eventually led me here.  He stated that my suggested change should be brought to the developer support team. 

      But I was also hoping to find a workaround with a post here.
