Description
Feature description
- add dynamic android shortcuts from termux
- could be used for example to write a script that generates shortcut entries for some bookmarks that one has in their dotfiles
- both supporting url and script shortcuts should be possible
Reference implementation
I have implemented exactly this in termux/termux-widget#80 but it would be useful if we would have it as API too for scripting. If I find time I will implement it by myself.

Research direction
Start by reading the reference implementation in termux/termux-widget#80 and compare its dynamic shortcut behavior with the termux-api project's existing command interfaces. Confirm how both URL and script shortcuts should be exposed to Termux scripts, then verify that generated Android shortcut entries work for both use cases.
