Instant apps min sdk version

I have a project that has min sdk 16 and I would like to add support to instant apps. Is it possible to add that feature to mine project? I also detect that I can't create a new project with option "Include Instant App support" to sdk < 23:

enter image description here

So I suppose that also not possible to add that feature to the existing project with min sdk < 23.

I will be very grateful if the answer will contain a link to the information.

The Android App Links feature was introduced in Android 6.0 and lets users tap on a web link to open your app (if it is already installed). Instant apps leverage the same app links feature to create HTTPS URLs that launch activities in your instant app.

There's no required minimum. 15 is fine. But FYI, your app won't run on 15. The Instant Apps runtime itself isn't compatible that far back. At the moment, that only goes back to 23 (but we're working on that).
