[RESOLVED] Having issues getting coder_apps to appear in my Workspace

Hello, I have been familiarizing myself with Coder the past few days, and it is fantastic. I just have one thing that I'm getting pretty stuck on and I'm hoping that I can get some help. I am using the guacamole terraform provider by techBeck03, and it creates a guacamole connection that I can connect to at https://guac.example.com/#/client/abcxyz. I am trying to get that URL as a clickable link on my Coder Workspace, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to appear. It seems logical that I could create a coder_app resource with the url set to the desired URL and external=true. While building the template doesn't give me issues, it doesn't actually display it anywhere.

This is the primary reference material I am looking at:
https://coder.com/docs/v2/latest/ides/web-ides

I believe that the major disconnect is coming from how my resource is displayed in the Workspace, as I'm not using (what appears to be Kubernetes) in my workspace, I am using libvirt via dmacvicar's libvirt terraform provider.

EDIT: It turns out that functionality of ALL coder_app's is dependent on the coder-agent being present on the terraform resources VMs, containers, etc. This apparently includes external apps.
