Store APEX app URLs in a table and reference them as links?

Keegan_WFeb 8 2018 — edited Feb 11 2018

This is what I'm trying to accomplish:  We want to have an APEX app that acts as a menu of links to all of our other APEX apps.

Since the only thing that changes app-to-app in the URL is the app ID, it would be nice to have a form for adding new apps to the link menu like this:

And then have the URL stored in a table using the App ID provided.  Table might look something like this:

APP_ID

APP_NAME

CATEGORY

URL

135

Software Request Dashboard

IT

echo.corp.xyzcompany.com:8550/apx/f?p=135:LOGIN_DESKTOP::::::

136

Sales Metrics

Customer Service

echo.corp.xyzcompany.com:8550/apx/f?p=136:LOGIN_DESKTOP::::::

137

Customer Survey Review

Customer Service

echo.corp.xyzcompany.com:8550/apx/f?p=137:LOGIN_DESKTOP::::::

138

Productivity Metrics

Operations

echo.corp.xyzcompany.com:8550/apx/f?p=138:LOGIN_DESKTOP::::::

And then be able to place the new app link in the menu with the proper title, URL link, and category for an interface that looks something like this:

Might be going about this the wrong way but any suggestions to accomplish something along these lines?

Current APEX version is 5.1.2

Thanks!
