Quick and easy way to open a specific note on Android.
Proposed solution

Current workaround (optional)
None
This would be lovely to have. One-tap dashboards, individual notes on stuff you’re working on atm? Yes please
Yes please!
It’d definitely be nice to have an easier way to set up home screen icons. Here’s a method to do this on Android with some extra tools:

A small widget could certainly serve the purpose of a shortcut.
Tip for anyone with a Samsung phone: The Modes and Routines app allows you to create a routine which opens a website. You can copy the URL of the note into there, then set it to trigger manually. You can put manual routines on your homescreen in the form of widgets.
This doesn’t seem to work anymore. The current version of the routines app complains that Obsidian URLs are not valid and rejects them.
