How can I pass data through the App Store to a downloaded app?

I am trying to incorporate a sharing feature for my mobile app which should be for both Users with the app, and without the app.

When a User without the app clicks on a Universal Link, I want to navigate the User to the App Store passing along some data. When the User installs the app, I want to them extract the data.

Here's a flow diagram to explain this further:

Is it possible to pass data from a link, to the App Store then eventually on to the User.

The right hand side of the flow works perfectly.

Where does app store data?

App-specific storage: Store files that are meant for your app's use only, either in dedicated directories within an internal storage volume or different dedicated directories within external storage. Use the directories within internal storage to save sensitive information that other apps shouldn't access.

Where do IOS apps store data?

When you set up iCloud for a third-party app, your app data is stored in iCloud instead of locally on your device. Because your data is stored in the cloud, it stays up to date anywhere you've set up iCloud for the app, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac.

Does Apple store user data?

Certain data, including your contacts, calendars, photos, documents, health, activity, and other app data, will be sent to Apple to store and back up on your behalf. In addition, your device will be associated with your Apple ID to provide you with better service and support.

Check out Firebase Dynamic Links - it provides something of a solution for this.
