I don't know about "correct", but as a user I would personally prefer external links to open in the browser rather than within the PWA.

Agreed, but some sort of pop up to make sure you want to leave the app would be 👍

I agree with that. I even when it opens in app I choose open in chrome option.

I agree. I like it better, when external links open in a browser.

+1 for this

If I'm opening a specific app (like Slack), I want that app... no more.

If I want the browser, I will open it and browse other websites.
