Abstract
A system includes a data store storing information identifying multiple functions and corresponding unique identifiers. Each of the functions corresponds to external functionality available from third party applications. The system receives a selection from an application developer of a function to supplement functionality of an application under development. The system provides a software object to the application developer for incorporation into a state of the application. The software object includes instructions for extracting text from the state and preparing a query wrapper including the corresponding unique identifier of the function and the extracted text. The instructions receive a result set, including an item that includes an identifier of a target application and an access mechanism for a specified state of the target application. The instructions display the item and, in response to user selection of the item, actuate the access mechanism to open the target application to the specified state.
