By the way, you can trigger iOS shortcuts with NFC tags, so in principle you can trigger any functionality exposed as a Shortcut action. However, NFC recognition doesn’t always work as smoothly as one would hope.

To expand here, when using NFC to trigger an iOS shortcut, there's nothing actually written to the NFC. Instead, shortcuts responds when that NFC is present. So you can actually write something like a URL to the chip and have it act simultaneously.

You can even use an airtag because it sees it as an NFC as well.
