How to open other SWA/SWD from your SWA

Problem

I want to open other app as a SWA (system web app) or a SWD (system web dialog).

Solution

SWA

SWA is a standalone app. You can resize it and do anything like other standalone apps. To open as a SWA:

web_app::LaunchSystemWebAppAsync(profile_, ash::SystemWebAppType::DIAGNOSTICS);

e.g. Opens Diagnostics App and Explore App from Feedback App. Code link.

SWD

SWD is always on top of other windows. You cannot resize it. To open as a SWD:

chromeos::DiagnosticsDialog::ShowDialog();

e.g. Open Diagnostics Dialog from Shimless RMA. Code link.
