Description Michael Kaulbach 2013-11-18 18:08:55 UTC 
eg:
https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/smplayer/ has a link with the graphic entitled "available on the Software Center", the description on hover is "Get it from the Ubuntu Software Center" and the URL is apt://smplayer, which cannot be opened in Muon if it is specified as the application to use.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an application at https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/ to install
2. Select "available on the Software Center" link
3. Specify Muon as the application to use 
Actual Results:  
Muon silently fails and doesn't even actually open.

Expected Results:  
Muon would open, and try to install the selected software.

These should be using appstream urls.
