Windows 10: Can widgets open apps instead of webpages?

I'm accustomed to the tiles in Windows 10, which worked really well:the Calendar tile showed your schedule for the day then you can just click on it to open Microsoft's Calendar appthe Mail tile gave a preview of new emails then you can just click on it to open Microsoft's Mail appthe To-Do tile gave a list of your tasks for the day then you can just click on it and open the Microsoft To-Do appI was hoping that widgets in Windows 11 would work the same way, but they don't. Clicking on a widget opens a webpage in Microsoft Edge instead of the relevant app that the widget is supposedly linked to

Microsoft Edge Webpage Content Flickering Issues with Facebook and Other Websites Which Contain Videos In Their Webpage.

Hi,

Let's try to isolate the cause of this issue, we suggest that you use a new
InPrivate window and try to go to a webpage with a video again. Follow the steps below:

• Open Edge.
• Click on the three dots icon on the upper right part of the screen.
• Click New InPrivate window.

If the issue persists, we suggest that you disable hardware acceleration and use software rendering instead of hardware rendering to view the webpage.
Here are the steps on how to use software rendering:

• Click Start.
• On the search bar, type Internet Options, and click on
  Internet Options from the results.
• Click on the Advanced tab.
• Under Accelerated graphics, check Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering.
