Linked Tetra Data Apps run as external software as a service (SaaS) applications outside of the Tetra Data Platform (TDP), and allow users to access them through the Tetra Data Workspace. For example, you can create a link to a Posit Workbench instance, so users within your organization can easily navigate to the correct instance in the TDP.
