[FEATURE REQUEST] Recover info from unavailable apps in Wishlists #2296

Hello.

Current Behavior (if any)

In the wishlist, when apps become unavailable, sometimes they still show all the information and you can still reach their store page from there, although you can't buy them. Other times, they only show a black box and the item is unavailable, and clicking in the item link redirects to the front page.

Desired Behavior

On those items that shows as unavailable, you can still copy the link (In the example, https://store.steampowered.com/app/321110 that redirects to the front page) and change the store.steampowered.com part to steamcommunity.com and access to its community hub (example: https://steamcommunity.com/app/321110/), or with steamdb.info to access its steamdb info (https://steamdb.info/app/321110/).

The feature request is to add a button or link to each of these items to retrieve some info from them, change the link to redirect to the community hub instead to their non-functional store page, or even add the images or more of the missing info if It's easy to do it and make them look more like the normal entries of the list.

Also could be doing that automatically when AS find those items in the wishlist, although maybe It's a bit taxing or resource heavy to retrieve that automatically if there is some of them, and also they should still look different somehow to highlight them as unavailable items in the list.

Motivation / Use Case for Changing the Behavior

It's something that can be done with a script/AS, instead to do it manually, and It make it look much better the wishlist.

About the reason to do it, every time I see a unavailable item, I want to see what item is (as there is no information in the box) and then look why It become unavailable (sometimes there is a new release, sometimes banned, or simply are gone) and normally you can see that looking the discussions in its community hub, and then you can remove it (or not) from the wishlist knowing what happened.


Thanks!
