I'm making a demo for Steam and I have a wishlist button. I want the game to open on Steam itself, I see several other games doing this but I can't think of a way to do it. Does anyone have any idea if it is possible with a plugin or with js?

It's actually easy, it's just a special link that looks like this
steam://store/1607720

You just have to replace the number with the id of your game.

A code like this? I tested this and it didn't work unfortunately:

SteamOverlayAPI.OpenURL("https://store.steampowered.com/app/1234567/");

Well no, like the link I posted... You just open steam://store/1607720 in your browser and it will ask you to open it in steam. I'm assuming this should also work just the same with the overlay api, or in fact even better because it's using the steam browser protocol.

SteamOverlayAPI.OpenURL("steam://store/1607720");

You can try right now. Just paste the link into the adress bar and hit enter.
