Advanced Webclips

Someone showed me at a conference how their staff created what they said is a webclip, but looked like a widget with an icon for Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive. When you clicked any of the icons within the webclip it opened a new Doc, Sheet, etc. 

I've been trying to search for how to do this and haven't found a way to replicate it. Any thoughts?

@khupp That doesn't sound like a Webclip. It might have been something created by one of the tools which let you create an app wrapper for a specific web site, and macOS Sonoma will include that as a built-in capability according to Apple's announcements at WWDC23.

That's an interesting idea about the upcoming options. This was before WWDC though.

@khupp Yes, there have been options to create site specific apps for a while. Fluid is one of the oldest, and it's even possible in Automator.

Yes, but it was on an iPad and looked something like this https://drive.google.com/file/d/183grP00Chzi06wu9VF530nwmJ-_qouQU/view.
