Another App with Web Link in UI

I came across another app using link in the upper
right of the window.
It just feels like a web page in the way it placed and its function.

Grape. A New Way To Organize Your Desktop
14/04/09 19:40 Filed in: Software
Docklandsoft has developed a piece of software which
lets you interact with your desktop files in a new
way. Lots of users use their Desktop as a
miscellaneous folder (like me), a place where you
either cannot file logically or as a temporary
holding place.
Launching Grape clears your screen except for files that are on your desktop. From here, you can group files into stacks or piles. Each file has a generated preview which you can scale, scroll through multi-page documents and view movies. Grape lets your group, label and zoom in on your piles.
By and large the best feature was the search, which fades any item not found in the results into the background leaving just the files found. Watch the embedded video below and see what you think.

Is This a New Trend in UI?
I’ve noticed in two of my apps that came from the
MacHeist promo a small piece of text in the top right
corner that are clickable. Both Espresso and EventBox
have clickable links in the top right corner of their
applications. Espresso which is fully unclocked sends
me to a page to purchase it (odd).
EventBox displays that it’s a MacHeist Edition and takes you to the MacHeist page.
I hope Mac developers don’t start spamming their customers with links plopped about their applications. I can hope this is saved for promotion purposes like these instances - since I have not purchased either through their respective companies, I do not know if this is how all apps are.
