Windows 10: How to invoke Microsoft Photos app and benefit from the navigation arrows and slideshow...

Hi, When opening an image file from File Explorer, Microsoft Photos displays the image with navigation arrows and a Slideshow button, provided the image is in a folder with multiple images. However, if the same image is opened from another application or process, these navigation arrows and the Slideshow button are not visible. What must another process or application do to invoke Microsoft Photos in a way that ensures the navigation arrows and Slideshow button are visible and usable? Are there resources that explain to devs how to invoke Photos ?Thanks in advance

:)
