Windows 10: Shortcut to APPs in Settings

https://www.computerworld.com/article/3218116/how-to-make-shortcuts-to-windows-10-settings-on-your-desktop.html gives an impressive list of shortcuts to items in Settings, but it is NOT comprehensive, nor do the sections correspond to those in Settings. Is there a more complete list somewhere - and specifically, is there a shortcut to APPs ?
