Can you open a Direct Message on Instagram's browser via a URL that uses Instagram ID or Username?

Tags:

I am sending multiple Instagram direct messages and would like to pre-populate URLs that open up a direct message between me and my follower. I have the Instagram ID and usernames of each follower.

Currently, Instagram has its "inbox" at https://www.instagram.com/direct/inbox/.

When I manually create a direct message, it follows the following format: https://www.instagram.com/direct/t/[long numeric slug that seems randomly generated]

I'm curious if there's some other URL that would open up a chat initially, such as: https://www.instagram.com/direct/[Instagram ID] OR https://www.instagram.com/direct/[Instagram Username]

Has anyone figured out a solution?
