Is node-red actually running on the iPad? If not, then no because nodes and the function node all run server-side (in the server where node-red is running).

If you mean click a link (or button) in dashboard (being displayed in your iPad browser), then [probably you can](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/shortcuts/apd624386f42/ios) (i dont have a single apple product so this is speculation)
