Button executing flow and launch function at same time

I have a flow which saves a html text as a file to a library. This flow runs when I press a button. I also need to launch to open that file within the same button. Is there a way to achieve this? So currently I have a flow (SaveFile.run) on a button which saves to documents. I then use Launch(LookUp(Documents, 'Modified By'.DisplayName = User().FullName).'Link to item')

However, I need both of these to run at the same time. I tried adding a refresh button between the flow and the launch command but no luck. Any tips on how to achieve this?

Hi @PowerAppsHelpCD ,

You can set a return value named 'ItemLink' for the flow named SaveFile, which returns the link of the item to the canvas app. This way, you can directly obtain the item link and open the file after running the flow.

launch(SaveFile.run().ItemLink)

Best Regards,

@v-bofeng-msft Thanks for the quick reply. IT worked! Is there a way to make the flow so that if a user presses a button, the previous file that was created under their name gets overwritten. A user should only have one file in the documents library.
