[Enhancement]: Launch directly to a specific library

[jordanmarchetto]

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I would like the ability to launch directly to a specific library. Either via widget or app-specific action (not 100% sure of terminology, see SS below)

Why would this be helpful?

I keep my podcasts in one library, and audiobooks in another. I want to be able to more easily switch between the two.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I think the easiest way would be to implement whatever this menu is when you long press an app icon:

Another idea would be to register a new type of widget that launches into a specific library.

I've never used NuxtJS or Capacitor, but I'd be interested in taking a swing at this feature and putting up a PR. If anyone is able to point me to the right areas of the codebase, I wouldn't complain.

Ah wow somehow I never knew that existed. This will be entirely native android code.

NuxtJS is only for the UI you see when the app is open, and Capacitor bridges the gap between NuxtJS and native iOS/Android through plugins. I don't think this feature will touch either of those

[jordanmarchetto]

@advplyr is it common for you to have native iOS/Android code in the app? or is that something you're trying to avoid?

[advplyr]

Yeah anything that is not UI should be native
