Gesture - Open an App Directly by Swiping on an Icon

Currently, swiping right on an app icon in the launcher opens a popup with shortcuts or widgets. I want the option to assign a right-swipe gesture that opens a specific app or it’s shortcuts directly—without any intermediate step or popup.

Rationale / Benefit:

  • Efficiency: Saves time and taps, especially for frequently used apps or routines.

  • Simplicity: Configuration is limited to selecting an app per icon—everything else stays the same.

  • Universal: Works on all devices, in every country or region.

  • No Overhead: If the feature is not used, nothing changes—no added complexity or elements.

Implementation Suggestion:
There should be an option in the launcher settings (or the icon’s context menu) to assign a specific app to the swipe gesture, which then opens immediately.
