How it works for Ubuntu: When a user is at the Ubuntu Apps website and are
visting a page for an application that they wish to download, then they can
click the "Download this with the Ubuntu Software Center" button found on
that page. When a user clicks on this download link, it links to a special
uniform resource identifier (for example: apt://banshee), which opens up
the Ubuntu Software Center. The name of the requested package is extracted
from the uniform resource name and the user can install the software (in
the Ubuntu Software Center) with only a confirmation of their request.
