App intents on `admin.app.intent.link` now open as a full-page navigation
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
When Sidekick invokes an app intent declared on the admin.app.intent.link extension target, the Shopify admin now navigates the merchant to your extension's url as a full page, matching how Shopify's own admin intents behave. Previously, the same intent always opened in an overlay on top of the page the merchant was already on.
