Yes. But it's handled by the software behind the tag rather than the NFC tag itself.

An NFC tag can only store a single URL which will link to a single page. You can't store multiple URL's onto a tag. or to be precise you can - but mobile phones will only read the first.

So the solution is that you link the tag to a page which itself has multiple links. Something like linktree or our ixkio tag management system. Additionally some system like ixkio can change what information is shown to different people based on rules such as phone type authorisation and so on. Our ixkio SmartAccess system is designed to allow different information to display on a tag scan based on authority. Which means you can show marketing to all standard users but then service information to authorised engineers - from the same tag scanned in the same way.

If you want simple multiple link system then have a look at linktree as well

Linktree is a great platform for showing multiple links after a tag scan but wouldn't show different content to different people based on authorisation for example. To do something more complex like this then you would need a tag management platform or more advanced link management software.
