How to navigate from Fiori Overview Page (OVP)?

Question

Trying to make a POC on Overview Page Cards with navigation. I have followed a few tutorials in setting up the cards and annotations using the Northwind OData service.

I want to navigate to another app by clicking on the cards. The docs say this is done using intent-based navigation. This app I am trying to navigate to is registered in Fiori Launchpad with semantic object of "Northwind" and action as "Display"

I have the Employees card setup in the manifest.json and it displays the records fine.

However, when I add the navigation parameters in the annotationPath and identificationAnnotationPath, the data is not displayed and the navigation doesn't work.

Manifest.json card snippet

            "card00": {
                "model": "NorthwindModel",
                "template": "sap.ovp.cards.table",
                "settings": {
                    "title": "{{card00_title}}",
                    "category": "{{card00_category}}",
                    "subTitle": "{{card00_subTitle}}",
                    "entitySet": "Employees",
                    "annotationPath": "com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.LineItem#Northwind-Display",
                    "identificationAnnotationPath": "com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.Identification#Northwind-Display"
                }
            }

I've also tried leaving out the action, but I get the same results.

What am I doing wrong and what is the proper way to navigate to apps from Overview Page Cards? I'm unable to find any resources on this topic.

I happened to come across your question and see that you have found the documentation about card navigation. Although you might already have found a solution, I thought I would mention that there is also documentation about annonotations for intent-based navigation - Annotations Used in Overview Pages (com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.DataFieldForIntentBasedNavigation). Perhaps this document might be helpful or a possible future reference.
