Links like from the play store can be opened in the app by touching the icon in the address bar. However this only appears once the site is fully loaded (an the all the data needs to be loaded again in the app). How can I open it directly in the play store (or other thing I other apps) and not first open a new tab and wait for the page to load?

Hi

The best way to do this is to search for and open the app in the Play Store.

Not only will it open easier, but it will also have you Google account credentials to make installing or adding to your wishlist much easier.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.
