Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Giorgos Logiotatidis [:giorgos]]

We need another action to show AppMenu for snippets.

In pre AS Router world we implement this using UITour.showMenu('appMenu')

With this bug we should also expose executing actions to the snippets (currently only available to onboarding messages) so that they can call out to `OPEN_APPLICATIONS_MENU`

Snippet should  be able to trigger actions using links and buttons. Can we use `url` and `button_url` accordingly with the action name and have AS Router translate that to an action? 

Example for links

{
  "text": "Menu <openMenuLink>open</openMenuLink>."
  "links": {
    "openMenuLink": {
      "metric": "download-click",
      "url": "OPEN_APPLICATIONS_MENU"
    }
  }
}

Example for button_url

{ 
  "text": "Menu open",
  "button_url": "OPEN_APPLICATIONS_MENU",
  "button_label": "Open"
}
