Can a universal app be started via keyboard shortcut or command line
The thread title pretty much says it all. Can a universal app (currently interested in Weather) be started via keyboard shortcut or command line command?

You could do this:
- drag a shortcut off the start menu and assign a keyboard shortcut.
Command line: see
How to start Microsoft Photos from command line?
for an example
Go here in file explorer
%appdata%\..\local\Packages
and you will see a list of others, including Weather

Very useful information. Thank you very much.
Given you know the command, you should be able to put that in a script and use Autohotkey to assign a shortcut, for example..
There's probably a simpler way...
For whatever value it might possibly be to anybody in the future, the above relative to command line boils down to create a command such as
explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App
for Photos or
explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App
for Weather where the green part is obtained from
%appdata%\..\local\Packages
The new information here is that for Microsoft Edge, the part after the exclamation point has to be MicrosoftEdge rather than App.
I eventually figured this out by examining the dragged shortcuts.
