[WinRT] How to create secondary tiles

[Tornado92]

I'm looking for ways to add to my app a feature that would allow them to create a custom tile on the start screen which would do a specific things when they clicked them on the start screen.

The example of app that have this exact feature is Lock Screen. This app would basically ask the user to pin it's own custom live tile on the start screen and when user press that tile, the phone would lock. This is exactly how I wanted it to be but with different actions though.
