Is there a way to get the chat_id (title too maybe? type?) from a t.me/+invitelink ?

I don't think it is possible through bot api, but it might be possible by using mtproto directly.

:-( Ok well then... I'm lost :))
I was thinking that maybe get_chat could support that but it seems it doesn't...

I suppose invite link is created especially that it was not able to understand to whom it belongs. :)

Anyway bot cannot get anything about the chat (channel, group, user etc.) where it was not added/started.

I beg to differ. It can get informations about channels/groups/supergroups it's not in using the get_chat() function. Tested and working.
That's why I was searching for something similar for the invite links.

Yes, it seems pyrogram can take a t.me/+something as a param and resolve it for both users and bots.
