Launch Microsoft Store APPs instead of launching the web page. #865

Closed szw0407 closed 1 month ago

szw0407 commented 1 month ago

Feature description: The Todo, Sway and Loop links on the home page is opening the web browser. However, many users have installed these programs via Microsoft store. They can be launched instead.

How it work? Click on the icons of, for example Todo, then the Todo App opens.

Technical Reference (if possible): Call the relavant URLs, like ms-to-do: to open the links. Or, detect the installed APPs and open them if possible. If not installed, the link can direct the user to the Microsoft store to install it via ms-store:// or the original URL to open the browser.

Done. Also added Power BI Desktop and Teams. Please wait for the new version released.

The Sway doesn't have desktop app. The Loop desktop app is a PWA. Use Loop web is a better choice.

In fact sway also has a PWA APP on Microsoft store. Anyway, personally I prefer PWA as the App launches without opening a browser with all tabs. It is just a window with no extra element.

Anyway, I have already finished working on this part of the code. We can make changes later if needed.

Also, I don’t think Office Tool Plus needs to be a launcher, using the Start menu is a better choice.
