Abstract
A method includes displaying, at a client device of a first user, first content associated with a first application on a user interface of the client device. The first content may be related to an entity associated with an online social network. The method then includes presenting for persistent display a first interactive element associated with a second application on the user interface, and then accessing, upon receiving the first user input selecting the first interactive element, a deep-link index of the online social network to retrieve a deep link to the second application indexed with the entity. The deep link to the second application includes instructions for accessing a display state of the second application associated with the entity. The method further includes executing, at the client device of the first user, the retrieved deep link to present the display state of the second application associated with the entity.
