You can launch apps which support URL schemes by using the 'launch web page / other app' action type and specifying the url in the data area. Examples include:

sonos://
(which launches the sonos app)

remote://
(which launches Apple's remote app)

You can also put in any http:// address, which will open up Safari & navigate to the page, so if you put a path to a video file, it will play.

You can also use a Web View within our app, which is basically Safari running in a window, which is capable of displaying web sites, playing video files etc

it is app specific - it may not be possible with the app you are trying to use. Have a look at
