I wouldn’t use deep links to navigate within the app. That’s not how they are meant to be used. You should be using ‘Go to Tab’, ‘Show New Screen’ or ‘Show Detail Screen’ with inline lists, buttons, or other components that allow actions. You can use these with or without relations. It all really depend on what exactly you are trying to achieve.
