[FEATURE REQUEST] Add links to the Visual Novel Database (vndb.org)

[bruce-davis]

Current Behavior (if any)

None

Desired Behavior

Please add links to the Visual Novel Database (vndb.org) to VN games where appropriate. For example, create a link on Steam page for visual novel CLANNAD:

CLANNAD on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/324160/CLANNAD/

CLANNAD on vndb.org https://vndb.org/v4

Motivation / Use Case for Changing the Behavior

Visual novels are popular on Steam and it's helpful to read about them on vndb.org before buying and while playing them.

Hmm, this might be difficult because we will need to create and maintain the url mapping info since vndb pages don't query Steam appids.

Maybe instead of adding a link to the game page on vndb, just link to a search page (based on the game name/title on steam, filtered for only OS where Steam actually runs on, for any game tagged on Steam as Visual Novel)? This should be fairly usable for a lot of VNs, even if not entirely ideal.

This is a very niche case and can be added by the user once #1160 is implemented

I added VNDB as a search engine in my Firefox, so I just copy the game name and search for it. I agree that its tagging system is vastly more comprehensive than Steam's.

From the next version onwards (> 2.1), there'll be a new section under 3rd-party links for app pages for you to add custom links to app pages as well:
