Link to manager functions from app

I'm working on a splunk app at the moment and I'd like to to link to two manager functions--Manage Searches and Reports, and Manage Views--from inside it.
I had a look at the search app in default.xml, and the relevant links are:

<a href="/manager/search/data/ui/views">Manage Views</a>

and

<a href="/manager/search/saved/searches">Manage Searches &amp; Reports</a>

I'm trying to work out what I need to put into my app to call the manager the same way, but in the right app context. Obviously, this code is for the search app but there's no such path /manager/search/saved/searches or /manager/search/data/ui/views that I can find, and no documentation about what this stuff actually points to and how it's done.

OK this is weird. The question answered itself. All I had to do was substitute 'myapp' for 'search' in the href, restart splunk, and it worked. Funny thing is, I tried this exact same thing before and it didn't work, which is why I asked the question.

Oh well, that's IT for you: 80% tech, 15% voodoo and 5% hammer, when tech and voodoo fail.
