    Default I have no idea how to make an app link. Help!

    Hello everyone! I'm working on a simple web page and I'm trying to make, for its mobile version, a link that opens an application on the phone - an app link. Is it possible to do this with Xara Designer, and if so, can someone help me with some advice? Thanks in advance!

    Info Re: I have no idea how to make an app link. Help!

    For good reason, there are very few such mechanisms.
    Those that do have specific URIs: tel:, mail:, javascript:, geo:, even msedge --app=https://example.com in very specific circumstances.

    You have not specified which app. It might have a custom URI scheme.

    Such deep linking could be:

    • twitter://...
    • YouTube://...
    • fb://...
    • eBay://...

    Thanks for the reply Acorn and sorry for the omission. Unfortunately it is not for a large platform. I'm working on a web page/menu webpage for a restaurant and I was thinking of making an app link to 2 local food delivery companies (Romania) from where customers can order the food presented.
    I'll will make a link just for the phone number and I'll mention that they can also order through the apps in question. Thanks again.
    PS. Sorry if something is not clear, my English is not great and I translated with the help of Google

    Aren't you just describing the "Download on the App Store" and "Get it on Google Play" buttons?

    You'd just link them to the page in the respective libraries, like these links for Spotify on the App Store or Google Play.
