Shortcut to open contact card of pre-defined contact?

How can I add a shortcut to home-screen on iPhone 16 running iOS 18 that will open the contact card of a single pre-defined contact? I don't want the shortcut to make a call...just display all of that contact's information.


I've been using Android for over a decade and have always had my important contacts pinned to home-screen. I'm assuming Apple must have some way to do this. Web searches are giving me steps for using the Shortcuts app to accomplish this, but they are always impossible to follow. Some include invalid steps, and others are just utterly confusing.


Does anyone have a solution that they've personally tested and found to work?
