App links in browser not opening the iTunes Appstore

[gaanee]

Seems like Apple has modified the way you could check the app in the browser and then click on a link to show that app in the Appstore in iTunes. Now there is no link to click on the app websites which used to launch iTunes.
This was really handy when you are browsing and come across an app you wanted to download. Has anyone figured out a workaround?

I still have it on 11.2 Beta 4

On PC with Chrome and Firefox, appstore links don't show the button to open in iTunes.

Previous;y, there used to be a button on the webpage which prompted you to open it in iTunes or Cancel.

So far, only workaround I found was to open app pages in incognito/private mode which still shows that button to launch iTunes, but it works only for the first app, once you launch iTunes and try to open another app page in the browser, it doesn't show that button to launch in iTunes again.

e.g.- When you open this link in the browser, there is no way to launch iTunes so as download this app

If I recall correctly apple eliminated the itunes AppStore in the new version of iTunes so that's what it's supposed to do now.

Apple later released iTunes 12.6.3 with the appstore. There are many sites which provide links to apps in the browser, so how do you launch iTunes from that webpage?
