App switching between traditional and Constellation UI in Pega 8.8
Hi Pega community! Our organisation has multiple Pega applications built using Traditional UI architecture and most of the business users need access to multiple applications.
Given the General limitations listed here Feature changes and limitations in Constellation (pega.com)
If we build a new application app using constellation UI, how are the users going to access multiple applications? Cheers! @RichardMarsot

In Pega 8.8 - you can add links to the other Pega applications in your home page of your constellation UI app or in the left navigation -
since 8.4 - all the apps are now directly accessible using the application Alias so the application switcher is no longer the only way to access the app - Users can bookmark the application alias for each app they need to use in their browser.
In 8.23 - the constellation portal will provide an application switcher component in the header and will use the application url alias to switch to the other apps.

So if we have version 8.8 we can have Cosmos and Constellation UI's but we would have to use a different URL instead of using App Switcher?
