Open Safari from Widget

Hi I have an app that acts similar to the Apple News Widget (Outside the US,UK and Canada it just shows some headlines from across the web).

The News widget opens Safari if I press a headline and leads me to the article.

How can I achieve the same? Providing a web URL with widgetUrl stills opens the main app

I’d love to know this too. I think currently it’s not possible, seems you can only open the main app. (You could build a workaround by opening the main app myApp://openSafari=someUrl etc and then your main app would open safari. Which is not a nice workaround of course but the only solution I can think of)
