Hi, is it possible to do not just open the widget's app, but pass some additional params like it's working in "old" widgets via

public func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set<UIOpenURLContext>)

🤔

Hi!

You can use this modifier in your view: WidgetURL. This will make the entire widget a tap target that opens the host app with a URL of your choosing.

If you want specific tap targets (available in Medium+ widgets), you can also use https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/link. This is not applicable for Lock Screen widgets though.

thanks 🙏 it's working like expected 👍

And yes, Link doesn't work at Lock Screen widgets - I already aware of it as it was the implementation we use in our app.
