I’m running 2 gateways, each with a different project, and I would like to be able to launch a client for one project from the nav menu of the other client. IS this possible?

Cheers!

You want [`system.util.retarget`](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.util.retarget).

Use [system.util.retarget](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.util.retarget) to switch the current client to the other gateway/project, or [system.util.execute](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.util.execute) targeting a shortcut to the other client to open another client in addition to the current client.
