It's /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop, so...

  application://ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop is in Unity's favourites 
  by default

and the chain is

 unity-webapps-service -> webapp-container -> webbrowser-app

I heard that we need to keep this, so if it is confirmed that Oxide, the
web browser and the Unity webapps are to be removed, then we will need
to provide this in another way. The desktop team will do that. (An
initial implementation might just be opening a new tab in Firefox.)
