You can now run games by using a love: uri!
For example, instead of clicking a link and opening the file that was downloaded, just have the creator create a link full with löve:
When the user clicks the link, the script will automatically download the game and run it with LÖVE.
Now, of course, you wonder how you can help.
Just port this script to whatever platform you're using, if it's not working for you yet.
Let's get this into LÖVE 0.6.1!

If this will be implanted, could LOVE itself pass a value if it has been launched from a file or uri? If so, creating un-cheatable online games with LOVE would be
MUCH easier

It'd be much better if LÖVE could run games from URI's. That way, no modification of any way would be possible.
Of course, this doesn't mean that we'll encourage closed-source games. It just means that you could release your game source code without the achievement password or something like that.

Except of course, if someone is clever enough to change [url]love:place.com/game.love[/url] to
http://place.com/game.love. Then you can download the game and modify it as well.
