I think it would be great if GOG Galaxy 2.0 could create shortcuts for games of the library to be launch through GOG.

More precisely, if I had a game which does not belong to gog, nor steam nor any other platform which keep track of the time played, then I have two launch options.
- Either I launch it with GOG. Then GOG keep track of the time I played the game (and other features, such as putting the game in first position in "recently played"...)
- Or I launch directly (via its own launcher, via the exe file or a shortcut to it...). But then, GOG has no idea I played the game, so does not know how long I played it (and the other features...)

So it would be nice that GOG could create a shortcut to launch the game through GOG

Maybe it is already possible to do it manually with a link like :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\GalaxyClient.exe" /command=runGame /gameId=*****/path=******"
though we would need to find the proper gameId and path of the game. But anyway, it would be nice to have an automated way of doing so.

Moreover, I saw that GOG already let us choose the file for the icon. That sound like GOG should let us create shortcut with it...
great idea tbh
