I found a workaround.
Here's the background of my needs. I wanted to be able to start and stop my project timers with a simple click or a double-click of a button. I had generated shortcuts with Automagic that start and stop recording time in Gleeo Time Tracker. I won't get into how I did that, as it is a very specific use case, but the bottom line is that I needed to be able to execute those Android shortcuts using a flic button.
The trick is to create an application that will call your Android shortcut. Flic can't launch a shortcut, but it can launch an application.
In Tasker, create a new project and create just one task in that project. No need for profiles and it doesn't matter what you name the task.
In that task add a plug-in action: AutoShortcut and select your desired Android shortcut that you ultimately want to trigger with a flic button.
Export that project as an app.
Install that app. You have to enable installing from unknown sources in Android Settings. I recommend disabling that option immediately afterwards for security.
Tell flic to launch that newly installed app.
*Note: You will need some apps for this, and some of them are paid, so you might have to spend a few bucks. AutoInput is an extension of AutoApps and I paid $1.12. Automagic was $3.90, but you don't need it for this. Tasker is $2.99 as of today. The bottom line is that if you were willing to pay $35 for a button, you probably can afford another $5. Regardless of that, Flic should be providing this functionality, because there are non-technical users out there and Flic is marketing to them.
