Tell us the problem or your need

Currently you can install GUI applications in a chroot, but they don't integrate with the host system. You have to launch them from the command line.

Describe the solution you'd like

The ability to integrate applications from a chroot into the host distro's menu system.

Present a list of applications from each chroot and allow the user to choose which ones they want to show up in their menu
Allow a select all applications from a chroot and group them in a subdirectory in GNOME shell or a submenu in KDE Plasma

Other solutions?

No response

Additional context and references

In order to do this we could parse the XDG application directories from inside the chroot
Then use GTK's icon look up system to find the icons.
We would then copy the icon to the host
Finally create a patched desktop file on the host side.

I'm going to include an application menu on the atom page and allow you to export them individually
