Bug Description

Clicking the app store icon in the Manage Dash view should activate whichever store is default on the system. E.g. Click Store scope on V, Snappy Store scope on X, and the Snappy Store app on Y+.

Can we instead just get rid of this icon in the manage dash view? Or at least just hide it for now?

The complexity of handling the either/or situation is too great I think, and there are already so many other ways to get to the store anyway. Right now, the store scope also appears in the list of scopes in the manage dash view anyway, so this is just duplicating something already in the list. Then the apps scope has the big icon to go to the store. My understanding is that the new app drawer design also has yet another hard-coded visual element to open the store, which I think shouldn't be there.

When we switch to having an app for the store, we can look at implementing a URL handler for store:/// as well, but I don't think we should be doing that for the snappy scope and click scope.
