In the Canvas Student app, a learner can access an assignment via the LTI link. Learners should select the Submission tab and tap Launch External Tool.

In the Canvas Teacher app, an instructor has access via the Launch External Tool button.

Note: A Canvas instructor cannot access an assignment LTI link with the the Canvas Student app.
