Add link to App and shortcut please

Can you expand the "Add link to App" option to include application shortcuts too please?

not understand, sorry. When you tap on "Add link to App", you're able to choose from all applications you have installed, don't you?

I also read this twice before I understood but he means application _shortcuts_.

and what is shortcut? Shortcut on home screen are also created from some list of applications, so it's same for right panel.

Yes and no, from a shortcut e.g. to Dropbox app I can choose a certain folder or from a shortcut to Google Books I can choose a certain book. This is not possible if I just choose an app.

Shortcuts can extend beyond just opening an app. Many apps provide short cuts to enable direct functionality of the app. In my case I use Locus on my motorcycle and snowmobile. I'd like to add shortcuts to control music so I don't need to switch between apps. May plan is to use some tasker shortcuts to play/pause, skip, etc.

Thanks!

Menion, you as a developer should know this

Install Go Launcher, long-press a free space on the screen and choose "Add Shortcut"...

Ah I never used these shortcuts so I completely forget it exists

In this case, I really suggest to put this idea on GetSatisfaction because it's really not task on five minutes
