Is it possible to launch built-in widgets/apps from a WF?

With the built-in WF's on touch devices one can touch the data items on the WF to open other apps. For example, you can touch the steps data on their WF's and it will open the Steps Widget.

Can we do that in our WF's?

Thx,

Pete

no, currently this is not possible.

I assume one would use the Intent mechanism for this. Yes? It looks like it is not supported for WF's so one cannot even launch 3rd party (or own) widgets or apps. Is that correct?

Right now a watch face can't even accept any user input. There is a breakout session at the GDVC in Oct which may be involved:

Some native WFs can, but no CIQ WFs can..
