Count clicks on icon/picture

Dear PApps Users,

I have a list where I store "mentors" in my company and users can find someone and ask in a specific topic, if they're looking for solution. Unfortunately I don't have "PowerApp" mentor - that's why I'm here 😉

So basically my app is showing a "cards" of experts based on SharePoint list where column named "Expert Name" (Person) has name of "mentor".

Cards have 4 icons. I would like to count, how many times any icon was clicked in every "Expert Name". Sum of 4 clicks on icon per record.

I wanted to create a column Number and add "+1" if anyone in the company clicks on one of 4 icons on Expert Name card, but I don't know how to achieve that.

Is it possible? How to do that?

I think you can do this by adding a second command to the OnSelect property of the icon (I assume there is already one command associated)
Regardless, you can have a field that stores clicks and update it using the Patch function. I do that to count votes for new features in one of the development courses I teach.

There are a couple of ways to do this.
If you want to know who clicked on something, this Patch function creates individual records
Patch(
DataSource,
Defaults(DataSource),
{IdeaID: ThisItem.ID,
Voter: User().Email
}
)

If you want to just update the current status, this should work

Patch( DataSource,
LookUp( DataSource, Flavor = "Chocolate" ), { Quantity: Quantity+1} )

The complete guide to patch can be found here

Dear @JaguarMonkey ,

Thanks for help. I got a problem, because I wrote probably bad Patch function:

Launch($"https://contoso.sharepoint.com/Ask%20a%20Champ%20%20Documents/{(ThisItem.'Expert Name').DisplayName}") && Patch ('Ask a Champ'; LookUp('Ask a Champ'; 'Expert Name'.DisplayName = (ThisItem.'Expert Name').DisplayName); { Count: Count+1})

Basically my list has Expert Name column (people) and I have Count column (number).

The error is (in "Count+1" at the end): Element Count is not recognized.

And one important thing. How can I merge this Launch and Patch function, because it's also not working, when I try Launch(...) && Patch(...)
?
