Can a watchOS 2 app launch another app?

I have 2 iOS apps that have watchOS 2 extensions. If a user is using the first app, it sometimes makes sense for them to want to launch into the second app. In iOS you can do this using openURL:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:customURL]];

But I can not find an equivalent on watchOS 2. Does anyone know of a way to have a watchOS 2 app launch another app?

Unfortunately, You can't.

You can launch only system apps in watchOS using [WKExtension openSystemURL:]. (Some system URLs may works on only iOS)

There is no API for 3rd party scheme.
