iOS and Android missing support for widget URL templates / interpolation

[rxl881]

The mobile apps do not currently support widget URL interpolation. This is required for widgets such as tradingview (currently live on /develop and /app).

The main intent of this feature is for variables, either from the widget data object, or from the current user / room props. to be substituted in to the widget URL and passed down to the widget for rendering.

An example URL template looks like this (in JS):

const widgetBaseUrl = '/tradingView.html?exchangePair=$pair&dateRange=$dateRange';

The widget data object would be set with something like this:

data: {
    pair: pair,
    dateRange: dateRange,
},

And the riot-web code for URL template interpolation can be found here -

Can you please look at adding this feature to the mobile apps asap. Please let me know if you need any help or further information.
