Sharepoint list Powerapp form: skip first screen when opening link to item

Hey I have a PowerApp form to submit and edit Sharepoint list items.

I have added first screen to my app where the user is presented with a search bar where he/she can type a code and see if a list item exists or not:

if it doesn't exist, a button shows up and invites the user to submit a new list item and takes the user to the 2nd screen in new-form mode
if it exists, a button shows up and invites the user to view the details of the existing item, and takes the user to the 2nd screen in view-mode for the list item, after that the user has the possibility to edit the fields/column through the PowerApp form

However this first screen presents issues for direct links to existing items:

in the Sharepoint list, if I click on an item, I am taking to the first screen with the search bar, asking me to enter the code...
i share direct links to the item details in a report, and again it takes me first to the first screen...

I would like in both of these cases to skip the first screen and go directly to the view-mode of the form for the specific item.

Is this achievable?

hey @uwenagel
So I am talking about clicking on the list items here:
The format of the link behind each item is as follow:
https://xxxxx/sites/xxxxx/Lists/xxxListNamexxx/DispForm.aspx?ID=5&pa=1&e=ZPoMln

Re: Sharepoint list Powerapp form: skip first screen when opening link to item

Can you provide the link that is called when you click on the item in SharePoint?

Is the app called with this link? If yes, is there a parameter passed at the end of the link in the following way:

...?MyParam=xxx

Then you could use this parameter in the App.StartScreen property

If( !IsBlankOrError(Value(Param("MyParam")), SecondScreen, FirstScreen) )

to navigate to the correct screen.

Otherwise you have to create a link that provides this parameter.
