I just wonder when I visit apps.ubuntu.com that when I click the banner Available On The Software Center , It Opens the application Software Center.

I just want to know what is the URL for a specific application to it to be opened with Internet Browser ?

So does an application in Ubuntu has a IP address ?

An URL consists of not only an address, but also of a protocol. The latter is what the apps directory uses to open the Software Center.

The link on the Gnome Schedule page points to apt://gnome-schedule. Your browser has been instructed to redirect apt:// links to the Software Center. In technical terms, the Software Center has been registered as a protocol handler for the apt:// protocol.

This only works because both the website and your system know about the protocol.
