Can Power Automate initiate Google searches?

We use Quickbase and are looking to automate a task whereby the information entered into a form in QB is automatically used in various search strings on Google. The idea is after the form is completed, a button on the form triggers Power Automate to pull all the info from the appropriate fields and enter that info into various search strings that are all opened as their own tabs in a new Google Chrome window. Is this possible? Looks like there's a tool out there that can connect QB to Power Automate (https://www.cdata.com/kb/tech/quickbase-connect-flow.rst#:~:text=Power%20Automate%20(Microsoft%20Flow)%20is,visualizations%2C%20dashboards%2C%20and%20more.) I also saw methods that automate Google searches with Java, Python and Selenium. Can it be done with Power Automate?

    @DanielGAJohnson If you have a form(power apps) try calling Launch function in Power Apps 

     

    Refer this link : https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Launch-URL-in-Full-New-Window/td-p/272501

     

    Apart from this I don't think what you want to do can be done.
