Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
After switching from Talk in a browser window I was surprised by users being confused by missing other apps icons on top, like Deck, Tables and Passwords.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add buttons with all installed apps in the top bar, open them in a web browser when clicked, like it's done in Desktop Client application.

Additional context
I realize this is redundant, but please don't underestimate people's laziness.

Research direction

Start by locating the desktop client's top-bar or app-navigation entry point and compare it with the existing app-link behavior in the Desktop Client. Determine how installed Nextcloud apps and their URLs are exposed, then add access to those apps from the top bar and verify that each link opens in a browser.
