Nova launcher 5.0+ is supposed to allow you to touch and hold icons in the home screens and have a pop up of "quick actions" like Pixel launcher. Mine just gives options of Android versions past. Does anyone have functioning quick actions?
What a long-press gives you depends on the phone and the version of Android you're running - it's always been like that on Nova (both dependent and showing options - 4.3.1 also gives options, but on a Note 3 running KK, I don't get any Pixel-like ones).
