Trigger actions from widget

[svenadlung]

Actually I was wondering how I can add actions for example on pressing a button within the Today Widget. I am not quite sure about the limitations since I am sure it's sandboxed and something like alert() doesn't work in this particular situation.

In my case I wanna trigger a phone call. In my code I do use the react-native-communications package, which is working fine within the app but in the widget I don't get this running.

I guess at least there must be a way to open my app on pressing the button which is triggering the call. Any suggestions on this?

I haven't had the time to work on this lately, but perhaps someone from the community can shed light on this.

@rclai that would be awesome. I tried alert and also regular linking but both didn't work. I am wondering at least how to open the main app...
