[FR] Recognize old installed packages (by other software, e.g. Chocolatey, WinGet, Ninite, normal install, etc) and be able to fetch them to be managed/updated via Novus #18

What I'm asking here is for a direct linking or an unique placeholder where the name or ID of the package can be handled and managed via Novus directly.

I'm not a programmer myself, so I'm not sure how this could be implemented, but I think it's fairly possible.

That way we would avoid problems by having to uninstall externally via some other app (Windows Programs Manager, Choco, Revo Uninstaller, Glary, iObit, etc) and handle all of them directly via Novus itself.

What do you think?

Thanks.
