Can you author one of those Quest panel apps, like Gallery, Browser, or Store?

I'm wondering if I can author a 2D app like the Gallery, Browser, or Store that runs inside the VR shell home, rather than as full 3D immersive app. I'm not really sure what to call this other than a "panel", so I don't know how to search for documentation or tutorials.

Any help, even just an official name for these, would be very appreciated. If they aren't available on consumer Quests, can this be done on Oculus for Business devices?

    Also would like to know this.

    Specifically how youtube VR is able to switch between 2d android and VR immersive modes.

    I would suspect the immersive VR mode is done using WebXR?

    Other approaches have been discussed here:

    But the results seem inconclusive.
