Thanks Sayali for the response!!

My requirement is, I have 2 buttons in my adaptive card. On clicking fisrt button https://abc.com site should be launched and on clicking second button https://xyz.com should be launched. With in teams, either in a tab or modal window(or if there is any better way). Currently on button click the URL is being launched in external browser.
I am able to add a personal tab to my application and create deeplink tot he same, on click of deeplink focus is being shifted to the tab but the problem is URL in personal tab is static, I want it to be dynamic such that on runtime I can pass the URL to be launched in the tab.
