This functionality has been released into F&O with the ability to add powerapp access. In the video, the Microsoft demonstration showed a powerapp icon at the bottom of the POS layout, which then opened up into a Case Management PowerApp screen.
Could you please advise if this is already available, and if not if it is being released soon as I have not seen any documentation on this. If neither of the above then I would like to submit this as an idea

To have PowerApps embedded as a link within PoS and open within the iframe would prove very beneficial to customer who want o leverage additional functionality of a PoS without having to have developments to the Retail PoS app or open separate browser windows outside of the Retail PoS app.
This would help to leverage the extra layer of functionality of PowerApps provides while lowering the amount of development and increasing the use of PowerApps on PoS devices where Retail PoS functionality is not readily available but is a requirement by the customer. Furthermore should it be possible it would be easier to revert customers back to the standard functionality if it is delivered as part of the Microsoft roadmap

Hi Tom,
I believe this functionality is related to 'Show URL' operation in POS introduced some time ago. Because PowerApp when published, receives global URL.
Check documentation about Show URL operation on MS Web site: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/retail/open-url-in-pos
Also some time ago I wrote a post about PowerApp & POS, you can check it here: https://uptail.net/powerapps-integration-with-retail-pos/ - it does not use Show URL operation, but custom POS operation was created for this (Show URL has not been yet released)
