How can we launch an Experience Designer app from an OS Menu Widget?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

We have Experience Designer apps in the M3 menu and can launch from there:

How do we add these to the OS Menu widget? Following the pattern of launching M3 programs I've tried:

bookmark?program=XM3ITEMOV&LogicalId=lid://infor.m3.m3

But that fails: "The program failed to initialize. The error message reported by the system was: "mvx.app.pgm.XM3ITEMOV". This error might occur if the entered program was spelled incorrectly."

I've checked KB2328741 which suggests that the format should be:

mp://XM3ITEMOV?title=Item Overview

But that fails to launch with an error "The page you are looking for is not available."

Any ideas?

Thanks Justin. Perfect solution 😃

Based on Justin's comment above I spotted this in the URL:

Which of course translates to:

?LogicalId=lid://infor.m3.m3&program=/mdp&name=M3 Metadata Publisher

Thanks again @Justin . The pattern is now clear 😃
