Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I have a lot of different things that I would possibly like to control from my Smartwatch, but there are only 7 possible actions per tile. Swiping through several tiles to get to the one I'd like to control doesn't feel right, and also the amount of tiles that can be added is limited by the Smartwatch.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Add the possibility to add a shortcut-tile-link to a shortcut tile. When that link is pressed, the linked shortcut tile should be opened.

For example:

I have the following three shortcut tiles:

Main-Tile:
![main-tile](https://github.com/home-assistant/android/assets/17149377/1719e820-b349-402a-bde6-91b8cd768808)
TV-Tile:
![tv-tile](https://github.com/home-assistant/android/assets/17149377/7fd9bae0-e5de-4f27-bbe3-eeb32571b916)
Example-Room-Tile:
![room-tile](https://github.com/home-assistant/android/assets/17149377/ab7b19d5-dc51-4052-8214-4091081533c4)

When I click on "TV" on the main-tile, I want to go directly to the tv-tile, if I press on any of the rooms, I want to go to a corresponding room-tile.

It should also be possible to create and link tiles that are not part of the tiles that are directly accessible from the watch. This would allow to navigate through the different actions I would like to have available on the watch without having to swipe through 7 different tiles. It would also be enough to have only 1 tile for home assistant, since everything is now accessible from that one main tile.

**Describe alternatives you've considered, if any**
Some option to create your own completely customizable tiles for wear OS like lovelace, but that would probably too complicated.
