I would like to link to a view from a form. All attempts created the link, but would ONLY open the view in a new browser window. Can’t I open a view from a form AND stay in the app by creating and using a column set as ‘App’?
There is not a way to navigate away from a Form View from within the view itself.
You can create an action that is attached to the Form View and executed on Save of that From. Each view definition has a Behavior section towards the bottom. Expanding this in a Form View and you will see the “Form Saved” property. Tapping it will show a dropdown of the system AND custom action you can attach.

Thanks Willow, yes I saw that. Doesn’t quite work in this case. I’m trying to include instructions on a multi-tab form. Each tab would have its own, specific instructions…any ideas?
Use more Show type columns. You can get creative between images, text, format rules, etc.

As @dbaum mentioned, you can use Show columns to present messages or instructions.
If you r instructions are about HOW to fill out the Form, a better approach is to design the Form(s) to GUIDE the user through the data entry. You can hide unnecessary columns, only showing them when they need to be completed. You can make columns conditionally Required, apply Validation to make sure the entered values meet certain conditions and if you need to provide some “help” on the data entry, each Column has a Description property that is shown only on Forms and are intended to give users that slight additional help.
For example, maybe the data needs entered in a certain format. You can include this in the Description property so that the field label looks maybe like this:
Model Number (e.g. SNT-123-abc123456)
I hope this helps!
