Hi Brian, I started working on the implementation in unity-scopes-shell at the time we discussed this, but it turned out to be more complex than expected.
First off, the solution with preview_by_key I suggested above turned out to be a no-go, because it was incompatible with how preview actions work (I should have noticed it early...); so, the way to go is a "result_for_key" method that needs to be implemented by scopes which want to support canned queries requesting a preview. Second off, I've some of that "new approach" implemented in the shell plugin, but we will need changes in plugin<->shell interface too, and for the unity8 shell side of things I need somebody from unity8 team. I hope this will happen at some point, but this enhancement is not a priority at the moment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-api in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1492252 Title: Allow direct linking to a Preview via uri Status in Client Developer Experience: New Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I can already link to a scopes search via the scope:// protocol but it would be great to be able to link directly to a preview page via a scope:// uri. This would be especially helpful for uApp Explorer to link directly to an app in the official store (rather than the search page like it does now).
