Make "Favourites" app pop-ups independent of "All Apps" instead #2762

Is your feature request related to a problem?

App pop-ups are shared between Favourites and All Apps.

Describe the solution you'd like

Make Favourites app icons either shortcuts or independent of All apps. App pop-ups on the Favourites screen should not be shared with the same app pop-up in All Apps. They're in 2 different sections for a reason, separate the pop-up too.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Could you please elaborate on what part you are unhappy with when editing an app pop-up in your favorites will also change the app pop-up in the all apps list. I personally think this behavior is quite intuitive, and I don't see the use case for having them be separate, so I would appreciate some more information.,

App pop-ups are interchangeable with folders in favourites, so I think it's more intuitive to have app pop-up setups be independent of the all apps list. If I change an app pop-up in a preferential way to behave specifically in favourites, e.g. a folder replacement, I'm now stuck with that same app pop-up launcher-wide. Middle ground is having default shortcuts and "similar apps" in any pop-up I use often, making the list too big and takes away from the minimalism in often used places.

Renaming is also an issue. A common suggestion to Niagara's stance on not adding centre/right alignment is to rename the favourites and add spaces. This renaming persists throughout.
