hi! i really enjoy the itch client, but would love it if i could more easily switch to it from the website.

what i mean is i often stumble across a new game because someone shares a link to a game's page on itch, which when clicked simply launches a web browser tab to show me the game on your website directly. i'd much rather see it in the client because i'd rather install it in the client to take advantage of automatic downloads, etc.

i've seen both desktop and mobile apps play nicely with their related websites, like discord and spotify/soundcloud. if you open one of their URL's on your desktop or mobile device, they provide an easy way to launch the respective app and take you directly to the thing you were looking for based on the URL.

i definitely don't understand the technology behind all this, so maybe there's a technical reason you don't do this already, but i do want to put in my request for such a feature as it'd help me use your client much more often.

thanks for your time!
