I really doubt it but I figure it never hurts to ask... what I want to do is create a game matchmaking site that is capable of launching the actual games from within the web app. If not I guess I can create a client/server desktop app or something instead...

No, the PWA sandbox prohibits it.
You could try building an Electron app that runs your Blazor WASM - https://github.com/aspnet/AspLabs/tree/master/src/ComponentsElectron
Or you could give the following link a try. It does something similar, but doesn't bundle the browser in order to reduce size - https://github.com/steveSandersonMS/BlazorDesktop
Steve Sanderson wrote a pretty informative blog on it https://blog.stevensanderson.com/2019/11/01/exploring-lighter-alternatives-to-electron-for-hosting-a-blazor-desktop-app/

Hmm, @Peter-Morris would it be possible to launch an app using a link? In the same way Github does for the desktop version: e.g. `` ? Obviously the app would need to be registered and the browser will prompt to confirm the action. – Quango May 29 '20 at 10:46

If it works in a browser then it should work. Make sure you use NavigationManager to perform the navigation with `true` as the `forceLoad` parameter – Peter Morris May 29 '20 at 14:29
