@Brian: Right. That could work under the following assumptions: - the result uri uniquely identifies a result (currently we don't really require that nor make any assumptions around that anywhere in the shell as far as I remember) in the scope which is interested in providing that functionality; - given a result uri, the scope can produce a *single* result in response; - that would require a new method in the scopes API ("result_for_uri", "search_by_uri" or some such) to be implemented by scope author to provide this new functionality. - the shell would need to do 2 calls (get the result by uri first, pass it to preview). - alternatively, implement this with a new method such as "preview_by_uri", but I think I'm leaning towards the former approach with result_for_uri as building the previews is (usually) more complex part of the scope, so requiring scope authors to think of yet another entry point for previews is probably too much.

This would be especially helpful for uApp Explorer to link directly to an app in the official store (rather than the search page like it does now).
