It's a shame really, because I don't actually think this is too bad of an idea
- I just can't realistically see how it would be implemented. Navigating to
Firefox in Discover and clicking the 'share' button allows you to copy this >>>
appstream:org.mozilla.firefox <<< to your clipboard. This *could* be used to
implement a clickable link to flathub's search page >>>
https://flathub.org/en/apps/search?q=org.mozilla.firefox

But the problem with this, as you pointed out in comment #2, is that if flathub
change their website layout, the links won't work anymore.

Perhaps you could reconsider your wishlist request to something along the lines
of;

"Add a link to the website of the hosting platform used". So all apps you see
in discover via flathub have a link to 'https://flathub.org/', all snap apps
have a link to 'https://snapcraft.io/'.

Although it doesn't quite achieve what you're asking for, it is much easier to
implement and is probably more likely to be considered by the developers.
