Describe the feature, why the feature matters to you, and what benefits the feature will bring about.

Thanks to the content interface (https://snapcraft.io/docs/content-interface) it is possible to "inject" content from producer snaps in consumer snaps in a similar manner to what is done with Flatpak extension points.

On GNOME Software, extension points are evident because it is possible to see which extensions are compatible with said flatpak. For example:

On Flutter App Center, however, there is no such information like on GNOME Software. So, to install a consumer snap the user needs to previously know it, search it then install it like regular snaps.

Displaying a list of producer snaps on some place of the consumer snap page would make way easier to install and connect such snaps when available making that feature more relevant to the regular users.

Describe any alternatives you've considered.
