I'm working on a mac app that is based on links like bitly, using that app users can create a short link mapping to the URL. For instance todayMeet = {myZoomMeetingURL}.
Now I'm looking to implement a feature that helps the user to access the short link from the browser. If the user enters the short link in the browser and it has to open the respective URL. Let's say the user enters todayMeet in the browser then it'll take the user to the zoom meeting room.
To achieve this, I basically need to intercept all the browser requests (with user consent) and have to replace the respective URL if it is related to my application.
As far as i searched found a network extension might be the one that I'm looking but I'm not sure it'll definitely solve my problem. Before diving into this further just want to confirm Am I in the correct direction so far or is there any other ways to achieve this?

Nothing at the Network Extension level can help with this. You may have more luck with a web extension of some form.
