Is there a way to launch a Glideapp from within another Glideapp? ---

Yes as a url link. It will open in the default browser of your device. Give it a try to see the result on your device. ---

This actually works great on Android (not sure about iOS). If you set the link to open in the app and not the browser (you should be asked the first time you open the link), the 2nd app will open right away the next time you click on the link. It’s pretty seamless. ---

Thankyou @George_B and @kyleheney. didn’t realize it was such a simple solution. Can I do a similar thing with a tab? So basically have an item on the home screen which links to a tab. I don’t want that tab to be shown on the homescreen or the menu. It should only open when the user clicks on the item. ---

You can use “Link to screen” as Button action and link it to any sheet. ---
