[All Platforms] Configure Autoplay setting when opening Spotify Links

On Mobile, clicking a Spotify link to a song opens the Spotify app, immediately plays the song and also sets the song/album to be pulled from next. It would be nice if this interaction with links could be configurable to just open the Song page to allow the user to either add to queue or playlist without interrupting their current session. This is the default behavior on Web/Desktop players.

I would really like this idea to be considered to the Spotify Development team so everyone please take the time to vote!

I still think this would be a smart change to make. Please add this!

Dont force people to listen to spotify links

Let people choose to add it to the current list of songs they're listening to or just show us the song page

For all platforms, disable automatic playing of an open.spotify song link to create a seamless listening experience, or at least make it an option that can be toggled on/off. Some users simply want to add the song to queue to listen to the song later without disrupting the current listening experience.

ok hold up, this thread/idea has been here this long and its still a problem... come on. Yes, please make it to where links shared don't autoplay. Its annoying, cause it ruins my playlist I'm listening to. Like it bring me to the song/album and that's all it needs to do, it doesn't need to autoplay it. I can determine if I want to play it or add it to my queue.

This is now a problem on web (I used to click on a link and not open Desktop so I could not auto-play... and from Web... add to queue...) so no workaround! 

Please implement a simple option where you can choose between: 

- Play immediately 
- Add to queue (if music is playing)
