This was the example I was thinking of, perhaps I have a misunderstanding
somewhere:

My users knows about my password manager, at pwm.com. I have the following
structure:

* pwm.com/ - index page that gives summary, and an install button.

* pwm.com/app.html the main app page mentioned in the manifest, the
launch_path. It uses appcache or a way to get local assets under /app as
the installed app.

Then a bunch of product pages that are not really needed for use of the app
once it is installed:

* pwm.com/features.html - in depth feature survey.
* pwm.com/help.html - could be a help forum/support that changes often.
* pwm.com/comparison.html - compares against similar password managers.

I would prefer to not have those last three open inside my app, as the app
was configured around local data storage and may have routes/pages that do
not correspond with the public site URLs.

So a way to tell the system “do not open up my app for those URLs, just
what is installed locally”.

Perhaps similar to when I have a tab opened for pwm.com/app.html in a
desktop browser, then in another tab I am on a different web site and I
click on a link on that site that goes to pwm.com/help.html.
