Is there a way to display a Favorites folder as an Apple Watch complication and have a list come up when I press the icon?

Apple Watch Complications Question. For Reference: iPhone 17 Pro w/ iOS 27.01 and Apple Watch 12 w/ iOS 27.01.

I've tried to add My Contacts/Favorites as a complication but it appears I can only add a single contact. Do I have to create/run a shortcut? If so, that seems like a convoluted way to get to a short list. It seems to me this should be a feature that's built into the OS - especially for the watch. Favorites folder comes up, select the person, call or message (1,2 or all). In the case of an emergency when you need to get something out quickly, one wouldn't have time to scroll, select, and message. I understand that you could use Siri to get to a contact quickly, but sometimes you're in an environment where you can't speak.

Thanks in advance.
