Example URL: https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github
This functionality is already available under Code → Open with GitHub Desktop, but this would make it available with a single click:

Copying over the URL from the menu item would be a good start, but it would be awesome if the link could take into account the current branch (so that the Desktop app can automatically check it out).
The URL format is <code>x-github-client://openRepo/https<span>://</span>github.com/<strong>user</strong>/<strong>repo</strong>?branch=<strong>branch</strong></code>.
