Hey there, this sounds like a good idea. Could you explain your use case? Presumably:

- click location to open in Google maps
- click location to call number
- click location to show share sheet

?

Is this so you have quicker access to your mapping app instead of opening details for that particular parishioner name and then creating a link in the details layout to the mapping app?

I have a similar use case where I’d like to open external PDFs or documents from a list. Kind of clumsy with all the clicks. Especially when I have to add in the download confirmation and finally open the document from the notification bar in some cases.
