How to open community from bang syntax?

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. I figured there would probably be an easy way to do this but I haven't been able to figure it out. Suppose I have a bang-syntax community such as "!syncforlemmy@lemmy.world" copied to my clipboard. How do I open this community within Sync? Everything I've found so far just searches for this as text.

PM it to your alt account and click the link from the sent messages.

I don't think there's a straightforward implementation of opening them directly.
- I don't have an alt account, just trying to get from Lemmy in Firefox to Sync. Is there a better way? Presumably the implementation would be the same as clicking on a link with the same text.
  
  You can leave a comment somewhere and delete it right after clicking?
  
  Like from Firefox mobile?
  
  I use this.
