Only harmattan is supported atm. If you try that on N9, it will install warehouse for harmattan on your phone, and will show that application within warehouse.

When sailfishos will be supported, all functionality will be reenabled.

Ofcourse it will not work. Such links assume that user have warehouse installed.

That's why there is URL, when you intend user to use warehouse capabilities, and custom URI-scheme, which will work only if warehouse installed.

The purpose is to use inside apps/sites, qrcodes for cross-linking between applications from developers. Products linking.
I.e. use "openrepos://app/XXXX/rate" in your app with title 'Rate my Application' ,or ''openrepos://app/XXXX/install" with title "Install this companion application for Pebble, if you want to support 4sq checkins!"
Or issue ''openrepos://app/XXXX/update" for self update, if your application sure that update is available, and shows own update details.
Just another way of one-way communications prior to dbus
