Navigate to personal tab using deeplink
I have encountered an issue while trying to create a deep link for my Microsoft Teams tab. My tab opens a web app built with Angular, which consists of a homepage and multiple internal pages. Specifically, I am having trouble creating a link that will open a particular route ('/article/1414') within the personal tab.
I have attempted to create the deep link using the following format:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/<appId>/<entityId>?webUrl=<entityWebUrl>&label=<entityLabel>
The personal tab will open (home page). However, I have not been successful in getting the link to navigate to the specified route (/article/{articleId}).
When creating the link, I have set the following parameters:
- entityWebUrl: https://site.web.com/article/1414
- label: Article
- entityId: I am using the personal tab entityId from the manifest.
I am seeking advice on whether this is the correct way to create a deep link for my Teams tab. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Please find a solution for navigating to a page within personal tab or teams tab.
Currently only the Homepage is loading, not second level routes. even after adding /blog or /employee.
See example below.
Navigate to blog page:
var encodedContext = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({"subEntityId": "124451"}));
var taskItemUrl = 'https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/fe4a8eba-2a31-4737-8e33-e5fae6fee194/blogs?webUrl=context=' + encodedContext;
Navigate to employee profile page:
var encodedContext = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({"subEntityId": "task456"}));
var taskItemUrl = 'https://teams.microsoft.com/l/entity/fe4a8eba-2a31-4737-8e33-e5fae6fee194/employee?webUrl=context=' + encodedContext;
