Using NFC tag to open specific app on wall mounted tablet

Completely new to HA. Installed on Rasp Pi 3.

Wanting to scan NFC tag next to my dart board and have HA turn on appropriate lights, then open darts application on a wall mounted tablet in the area for scoring purposes.

Like I said completely new to HA and transitioning over from GA, have approx 40 bulbs, motion sensors etc. Most are WiFi, unfortunately, but transitioning over to zigbee.

Is this possible? Or will I go down the rabbit hole, only to find despair over wasted time?
