Does anyone know if it is at all possible to link to another tab without the app refreshing. Usually you could just use a button or a component to link to a page. I’ve built a chat bot that says you can “go to the events page, to see what future events are coming up” but instead of saying that is there a way to use HTML text to show a “click [HERE](https://example.link/deeplink) to view events” I could use slug of the TAB but it reloads the app.
Sorry it’s a bit confusing
TIA

I don’t think it’s possible. Tabs are high level pages with their own URL, and when you navigate from one to the other by clicking in the navigation bar or by using the ‘Go to tab’ action, the new page (tab) loads.

Thanks for the reply.
I’m going to have a look at the source code for a button with a “go to tab action”
This action takes you to the tab without refreshing
However a link refreshes it
It’s quite confusing to me to be honest

If you were using an ‘Open link’ action, I would use the following navigation actions instead: go to tab, show detail/edit/form/new/user screen, go back, etc.
