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...).

Research direction
Examine Lawnchair Legacy source for the store icon feature and review how context menu items are added. Investigate methods to determine the package installer source (e.g., PackageManager.getInstallerPackageName). Look for existing implementations in other launchers like Nova.
