My neurodivergent girlfriend commented "I do not know what these links are for". She thought, it was a url.

Solution

There are two solutions

  1. Append a prefix of ID: to signify that the following is an application ID
  2. Move application ID out from the application list, instead displaying it on the right side under the Application name, in the same list as "Version, Last Updated, Runtime..."

The id can be used for searching, this should be kept in mind if doing so.

While this is true, this seems to be something only a developer would do, and second to that I had no idea this was a feature until now.

Getting rid of it from view would cause no harm, as it already is obscure.
