There are two ways to do this, if you want the whole widget to be one tappable target, you can use the widgetURL modifier on your widget view: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/widgeturl(_:)

For medium and large widgets, you can use the new SwiftUI Link view to have different tappable targets with different URLs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/link

Deep linking from widget to parent app is very easy. You just have to configure your small widget with widget URL and other widgets with Link view builder.

After doing this, when you tap on your widget or specific tap targets of your widget, your App delegate application: openURL method gets called. Be it swift or objective-C, this method will trigger and you have to handle the logic to show a specific application View controller
