Any way to set Emby as default music player?

Is there any way to set Emby as an Android device's default music player, instead of YouTube or Spotify?

Hi, what would that do for you?

It would allow users of Google voice assistant or Android Auto to say "Open Emby and play [album/artist/etc.]."

But if you specify Open Emby, then are you sure it has to be the default music player of the device?

I don't know if it needs to be default or otherwise, but right now Android Auto voice prompting does not recognize Emby as an app at all. Currently, saying "open Emby" doesn't open the app, let alone load subsequent information you might say in that sentence, such as "and play [artist/album]" the way Spotify, YouTube, and other media apps DO work on Android Auto. The request is that the Emby development team do whatever is necessary so that Android Auto recognizes Emby as another legitimate music app that can be opened and used via voice control. And if you made it possible to designate as the default music app, we could just say "play album/artist" and Emby would open and play it.
