What you describe already exists. It's openSUSE's One-click-install. You click a link and the handler subscribes you to the repository and installs the requested package along with it's dependencies. You can then select if you want to stay subscribed to that repository to for example receive future updates.
Makes staying up to date with for example Firefox trivial.

I am aware of openSUSE's solution as well as others like Ubuntu's PPA etc but it has to be available for more than just one distribution. That is sort of the point of getting the different distributions together and hash out the problems and solutions.
