Hello - I have developed a mobile community app using Survey123 Connect to allow citizens to provide shoreline data along local waterways to help inform a state shoreline inventory. One of the inventory items is Bank Slope.  We would like the users to use the Bubble Level app to easily determine the slope degrees of the bank.  Is there a way to provide a link or icon on the survey at the Bank Slope question for a user to click on and open up the Bubble Level app from the Survey123 form? 

Thank you!

You can create notes with html tags to open links.

You may have issues deep-linking to another application (i.e. app:// instead of http://) as iOS and Android started cracking down on this. Most links now require explicit approval in advance from the developers, so it'll be Esri apps only as the Survey123 team probably hasn't endorsed the bubble level app. Give it a go.

Or concatenate in a calculation then return the value (some of these map not work anymore):
