There's no path to app. Apps work in isolation in devices. So one app can't
see the files of another app. On Android they have different user IDs for
each app to keep them completely isolated in the kernel level.
Something like this should (probably) work:
execute("intent:#Intent;scheme=customapp;package=com.my_package.name;end");
Where you need to set "com.my_package.name" to the package of the app you
want to launch.
