[Sugar-devel] [Feature] Start an activity from another activity

[Gonzalo Odiard]

The activity do not declare a dependency on another activity, and activity
versions
are not contemplated.

The use case is simple, if you download something from the web,
you can open it without pass throw the Journal (the "Show in Journal"
button).
Another candidate is the GetBooks activity.

The feature page describe the proposed solution:

This feature was requested from UY. They said the intermediate step on the
journal
confused users. I have heard that in other places too.
