Shortcuts for contacts on home screen

I would like to have the possibility to put shortcuts on my home screen that allow my to call a person just by clicking on that shortcut without being obliged to execute a second manipulation.

For the moment it is already possible to set a shortcut for a contact from the address book. Setting such a shortcut opens up the contact page for the respective person.

I would like to reach by one-click a specific person - by phone or by mobile phone or by SMS or by email or by IM - just depending on the settings I am choosing when creating that contact.

Ideally I should be allowed to create for instance 10 shortcuts for the same person and with the same picture:

  • one for landline
  • one for mobile phone
  • one for SMS
  • one for email
  • one for Signal call
  • one for Signal text
  • one for Skype call
  • one for Skype text
  • one for Telegram call
  • one for Telegram text

Ideally, it will be possible for the user to distinguish the different shortcuts easily - and/or allowing the user to modify to subtitle for the shortcut.

This is a feature that probably might be useful not only for junior and elder users.
