URL-based App Opening
We should provide a way for opening certain URLs to open the relevant desktop app. For example, a Twitter app like Birdie should be able to register that it can handle twitter.
The above is just an example; we'd want the apps to be able to register somewhat complex regex-like schemes to match certain pages of a website with the appropriate place within an app.
Full disclosure: Android does this. :)
Even more full disclosure: Maemo used to do this way before Android picked it up.
We can utilize their library if we wish: http://

Whiteboard
I don't think Midori is enough usable to add big features like this, but maybe you can add 'feature' to Granite to allow this to apps without hardcoding Midori, but I don't know if something like this would be very possible, but I'm sure it would be awesome.
