Link to Google Maps Directions using place_id

I have 2 Place IDs I've obtained via the Google Places API, and want to display a link to the Google Maps app for directions between those 2 places.

I see that it's possible to do this with 2 addresses based on the answer at Current Location - Google Maps - Link to Directions using the saddr and daddr query parameters

I also see that it's possible to link to a map with a place ID by prefixing place_id:... in the q query parameter from this answer at Getting Google Maps link from place_id

Is there a way to have a directions link with the Google place_id? I tried a URL like: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/place_id:ChIJp4JiUCNP0xQR1JaSjpW_Hms/place_id:ChIJp4JiUCNP0xQR1JaSjpW_Hms and it doesn't seem to work

In order to open Google Maps directions mode with place IDs you have to use Google Maps URLs. The Google Maps URLs in directions mode support parameters origin_place_id and destination_place_id.

Create the following URL for example (note that origin and destination parameters are also mandatory as per documentation)

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=Yukar%C4%B1%20Bah%C3%A7elievler%2C%2070.%20Sk.%2017%2FB%2C%2006490%20%C3%87ankaya%2FAnkara%2C%20Turkey&origin_place_id=ChIJp4JiUCNP0xQR1JaSjpW_Hms&destination=Be%C5%9Fikkaya%2C%202044%2F1.%20Sk.%2C%2006230%20Alt%C4%B1nda%C4%9F%2FAnkara%2C%20Turqu%C3%ADa&destination_place_id=ChIJn-ZptRFT0xQRGUyoJX2s8Wc

Have a look at the documentation for further details.

I hope this helps!
