Consider using the same URL when automatically or manually triggering the browser dialog to open in desktop editor

Problem to solve

When using a desktop editor, the automatic browser dialog that pops up to prompt users to open in application is using the workspace URL while when manually triggering the dialog with a button click, the instance URL is used.

This could be confusing to users as this dialog triggers the same action. ❗

In terms of user experience, using the shortest possible could be a good way forward, so instead of the specific longer workspace URL we could use the usually shorter instance URL. Alternatively, using any of these two but truncating the URL in the dialog to scale better sounds also ok.

Proposal

Mention the same URL when triggering the browser dialog to open in desktop editor. Preferrably, the instance URL but any option could suffice as long as it's the same URL and scales well on different viewports.
