David, I had already specified a "Where is it?" button, though this won't be implemented for 1.0. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore#%E2%80%9CWhere%20Is%20It?%E2%80%9D%20button> Does that design look good to you?

I think it's important that people aren't misled into thinking that the Store is an application launcher (because it would be horribly slow at that task), so we shouldn't offer an "Open" button, but just show people how to launch the program themselves.

When text in an interface refers directly to other items in the interface, the design can usually be improved. Here we can show rather than tell; instead of naming the menu, submenu, and menu item, we can open the actual menus and point to the actual items.
