You should be able to do it through the following way:

1) Create a SharePoint page: placeHolder.aspx

2) Create an AppPart/Client WebPart for your App and place it on placeHolder.aspx

3) Open placeHolder.aspx inside the Modal Dialog

4) Open the Modal Dialog from a custom action.

Do you mean a usual Custom Action or those that came with SharePoint Apps. If it is a usual how do I can point to the app part? and If it is a custom action app then how can I open a modal dialog. I have previously created Custom Actions which opened application pages as modal. but a usual Custom action can not be added to a SharePoint App project. – Medes Feb 27 at 7:42

It is something like that but I dont want to open (launch) the app from a ribbon or context menu. But I want to launch the app from Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu – Medes Apr 23 at 7:25
