Description

Describe the feature

When you want to update individual app to newest version fastest way to do it is via "play store" option in long-press context menu which jumps directly to that app in google play store. This feature is in Nova. But as there are other stores best solution would be to jump to the store where you installed the app from (play, f-droid, droidify, etc...).

Why would it be useful to add?

Research direction
Investigate the Lawnchair Legacy codebase for the previous implementation of this feature, particularly the long press context menu handling. Determine how to retrieve the installer package name (e.g., via PackageManager.getInstallerPackageName()) and how to create an intent to open the app's page in the corresponding store. Review the current context menu implementation in the lawnchair repository, likely in files related to icon long press actions.
