Already completed and merged in, so can guarantee it'll be in 8.3.0. The launchers will register as protocol handlers with the OS, so you just have to trigger a navigation event to a URL like `perspective://some gateway:port/projectName` and the browser (or mobile device, which have already supported deep links for years) will do the appropriate thing. This also applies to the Vision and Designer launchers.
