In short, Yes can add your own custom tiles that point to other SharePoint sites, External links...etc.

Note: Your farm must be patched with at least Feature Pack 1

To add custom tiles in APP launcher

Open SharePoint Shell.
Run the below cmdlets.

Cmdlets

Get-SPFeature -Identity CustomTiles

Enable-SPFeature -Identity CustomTiles -Url http://web_app -Force

Browse to http://web_app/lists/custom tiles and add your tiles!

Note: After you add a new item in the custom tiles list due to caching, it may take up to 24 hours before you can see it appear in the app launcher. If you want to see it immediately, you can run ClearSuiteLinksCache() function in the F12 console

For more details, check Custom Tiles in SharePoint Servers 2016 and 2019
