Just a suggestion, but what if you had an optional feature where (if enabled) the preview would fetch the single result and display it? So for example, linking directly to an app in the click store scope would first launch an api call then show the preview using the results of the call. That way each scope can implement it (or not implement it) in a way that makes the most sense to them.
I don't pretend to know anything about the internals of the scopes implementation so my suggestion could be way off base. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1492252 Title: Allow direct linking to a Preview via uri Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: Invalid 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).
