To expose app intent property queries to App Shortcuts, you don't need to create a dedicated AppIntent if the property queries already provide built-in find and filter actions. The App Intents framework allows you to define intents that can be used as actions in the Shortcuts app. These intents are automatically detected by the system and can be used to create app shortcuts without additional registration code.
An app shortcut is essentially a wrapper around an intent, highlighting it as an important function of your app. This allows users to access specific features of your app through Siri, Spotlight, and other system experiences without needing to create separate intents for each action.
For more detailed guidance on how to implement this, you can refer to the session Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents (21:00).
