Button to 'open in desktop client'?

Hey there!

As I go back and forth between the Itch desktop app and website, I constantly have to refresh the Itch app to show me the latest. Is there a chance that...

- the itch desktop app could refresh itself after purchasing or claiming a game?
- the itch website has a button to open / start downloading the game in the desktop app, perhaps using a deeplink?

You can try this: https://fasterthanlime.itch.io/open-in-app-button-for-itchio-userscript

I don't know if it still works though! We've thought about adding an option to enable open in app buttons next to all downloads though. We'll probably do that at some point.

I'm hoping the 'at some point' is like... next week! :D
