For that to really happen in a robust way, I think Google needs to open up Custom Voice Actions.

"Ok Google.... Play <artist> on Spotify" works for me.

I agree discovery of these magic phrases needs work.

Yeah, there's some that can be done through system actions (which I think that is) and it sounds like custom actions have been implemented by selected partners, I just mean they need to open up custom actions to enable more general app-specific integration.
