GNOME Software currently doesn't actually introspect anything from the .snap directly. It uses snapd which I understand it is the desired design of snapd (I like this).

So what I need is:
- API in snapd to explicitly map which app has which .desktop file and how to get the contents of them.
OR
- Confirmation on the correct method to get a .desktop file given an app name.

I think the API in snapd is the best method as this allows any changes in the snap format to be handled in one place and works for all snap clients.
