Slash Command redirect

Hi folks. Looking to create a slash command, that could allow the user to be redirected to an external url in their browser. The use case is signing up for an account on a website. I'd like to implement a /register command that would allow them to be redirected to my authentication service with some prepopulated values What's the best way to do this? Return a button or url for them to click, or can a redirect/open browser be forced?

the only way is to show them a url or button

Damn that's frustrating. I'm fairly sure I know the answer, but am I right in thinking buttons can only be attached to a text or embed reply?

You can also just send a message with only components. Content and embeds aren't required if you have components as the components are enough to not be empty
When creating a message, apps must provide a value for at least one of content, embeds, sticker_ids, components, or files[n].

i mean, would be problematic if discord could redirect people to any website...

It's a valid point, though they are capable of verification (as apparent with the torturous interactions endpoint verification)
