Feature Request: URI schemes for the software manager #474

Description

@SpeeQz1

Something that happens quite often in online discussions is mentioning to other people software that they can use. Usually that involves sharing the name of the software or an image of how it looks on the software manager.

A small but nice Quality of Life improvement would be the option to automatically open these apps in the software manager using URI schemes similar to Steam (e.g. steam://store/365670). A user just has to share a link to the app on any social platform and any other user clicking it would automatically open the page for installing that software from the Software Manager.

Example:

mintinstall://store/virt-manager
