Feature Description

On various desktop environments (such as KDE), there is an application launcher that shows all the programs that have been installed on the system. A good feature would be for Winboat to create a folder with shortcuts to the Windows programs in it.

Use-Case

Right now users need to open Winboat and go to the Apps page before selecting which program they want to run. This would allow a more seamless integration with the Linux desktop by adding shortcuts like native programs, also allowing flexibility such as favorite/pinning to panels, search, and apps all in one place, rather than needing to go through a 'launcher'.

Proposed Implementation

Users would be able to select which shortcuts are added/removed from the Winboat app screen. The shortcuts would then be placed in a Winboat folder/category for organization purposes. The shortcuts would have the icon and name of the program, and an optional description that says it will use Winboat to launch the program. If the Windows container isn't running, selecting the shortcut should start it.
