We could assign each app a name, and design a universal app launcher that, given a name, would navigate to that app, launch it, and execute it a safe sandbox for the user. As a bonus, now any app in this universal app launcher could link to other apps, so that apps could launch other apps as necessary. That way, the complexity of keeping track of apps isn't up to the user, but instead each app presents links that allow the user to navigate to other apps as necessary to get their work done. Since apps would be connected to each other in a mesh, or web, and this launcher would allow the user to browse all of these apps, we could call this universal launcher a web browser ;)
EDIT: More seriously, this is exactly the problem that URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) are supposed to solve.
