UWP: Button to Launch Windows Explorer with Folder set to the "App's Local Data Folder"

Is it possible in UWP to launch file explorer with the current app's "local data folder"?

First I'm wondering how to invoke Explore or similar File Exploring Apps from UWP application.

Second, I'm wondering how to set the directory of the file explorer to the Current App's Local Data Folder. My goal is to have a Button.Click event handler invoke it.

Based on Martin Zikmund's Answer:

...
using Windows.System;
using Windows.Storage;

namespace MyProject
{
    public sealed partial class BlankPage2 : Page
    {
        ...

        async private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            await Launcher.LaunchFolderAsync
                       (ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder);
        }
    }
}

Yes, you can use Launcher's LaunchFolderAsync method:

await Launcher.LaunchFolderAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder);
