[Request] Make the "+ Mod and + Addon" buttons open the Steam Application instead of in Browser

Description

Many of us don't use the web browser for selecting addons and missions and such, so logging into steam in the web browser is a bit of a pain. It would be much more efficient if it took you to the Steam App instead.

Hi,

we'd absolutely love to do that, but unfortunately it can't be done at the moment, because it's not supported by the Steam client.

Alright, well hopefully we'll see this as an option in the future.

Thanks for the reply! You can mark this as closed for now if you like.

Hi,

we've got some hints from Valve support staff and managed implement this, albeit it is using commands that are not officially documented by Valve.

We're pushing this change into the development branch today, but there is no ETA for main branch.

Great news, thank you!

The feature went live with the game update 1.38.
