I would like to create a menu type app that calls other apps. The called app may be a regular app on the smartphone like the Calculator, Clock etc. or it may be an app built by Thunkable. ---

If you mean that you want a Thunkable app to open another app on a phone, I don’t believe that’s possible. It can open websites but not apps. ---

You can make use of the `Dynamic Links` of Firebase to open your app. Another way is to use URI generators such as [https://www.appsflyer.com/](https://www.appsflyer.com/) ---

Do those only work for apps you’ve created or would they work for 3rd party and system apps? ---

I found the Deep Linking with the Open Link block by Thunkable. But it seems that you can’t open another Thunkable app using this. Any updates on this topic? Thank you. ---

See this video which explains how to implement Dynamic (Deep) Link in Firebase. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/YBGKT6W4vyg/maxresdefault.jpg "Up and Running with Firebase Dynamic Links (from Google URL Shortener)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBGKT6W4vyg) ---
