This "should" allow us to open a page (activity) on one app, which
now would bring up the page (activity) from another app instead.
Have you ever done it?
Have you cloned an APK to Windows & edited that APK with
Windows freeware to call a different activity & put it back?

It would help if you told Windows users what an APK is. I had to look it up. APK = Android Package Kit
So my answer is no, & I probably never will. :)

Well - Nova launcher offers to use any app Activity as shortcut instead
of the default Activity of the app. Isn't that enough?
cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d market://details?id=ninja.sesame.app.edge --eu android.intent.extra.REFERRER android-app://com.teslacoilsw.launcher -f 318799872

Hmmmm... maybe... I don't know... but maybe it will do the job...
To be open and up front with you, I don't even understand your suggestion.
Looking up to try to understand what you're suggesting, I first look inside of Nova itself, I see there's something in Nova called "Sesame shortcuts".
Nova Settings > Integrations > Sesame shortcuts
What Stan wants to do is customize Android so that he can call one activity from one app from an activity that is in another app, as far as I can tell.
adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.samsung.android.app.contacts/alias.DialShortcut -f 0 com.samsung.android.app.contacts
adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.samsung.android.app.contacts/alias.RcsMessageShortcut -f 0 com.samsung.android.app.contacts
adb shell cmd activity start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.samsung.android.app.contacts/com.android.contacts.activities.ContactSelectionActivity -f 0 com.samsung.android.app.contacts

I am talking about the Nova launcher 1x1 widget "Activity" where you see
a list of all apps and all their activities. With this widget you can
create a shortcut on the home screen which calls the selected activity
in the selected app.

Or like an EXE for windows?

More like an MSI (but not so close)

Aren't the apk's a typical standard normal Windows zip file?
For example, can't Windows 7Zip or Unzip always easily unzip them?

yes they are, and so are jar files (but not msi files, though 7zip
happens to open them)
If apks are just zip files and if when you unpack them you end up with editable text files
can you change those text files to do something you
want the app to do that the app didn't previously do?
After you make those changes, can you just put it back with the same name?
Or do you need to sign the now modified apk under a different name?
