Linking.sendIntent(action, extras) is insufficient.

[dcorbin]

Description

This link (https://developer.android.com/distribute/marketing-tools/linking-to-google-play#android-app) documents the way to send an intent to Google Play. It requires the passing of a URI (data) and setting a package. Neither is currently supported.

The Intent documentation (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent#intent-structure) lists the data parameter as a primary piece of information.

The sendIntent method should support both of these.

I have attempt to create a patch for this, but there's clearly something I've missed on the internal workings of the project. I can build and run rn-tester. But after making my changes there are errors centered around the additional arguments I've added. From what I can tell there something call Prefab that I may need to understand better, but can find little to no documentation about this.

The API is not very useful as of today due to the lack of data parameter. Could we reopen this issue?
