How to add flags to an app's launcher icon in the taskbar?

home-sweet-gnome / dash-to-panel

An icon taskbar for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications.

How to add flags to an app's launcher icon in the taskbar? #2215

Running gtk-launch google-chrome from a terminal will launch chrome using the Exec line from /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop:

Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --enable-features=TouchpadOverscrollHistoryNavigation %U

But pinning the resulting icon, then launching chrome using that icon never launches with the flags.

Narrowing it down a little. GNOME in general doesn't use the flags, so maybe both GNOME and Dash to Panel are referencing the wrong .desktop file.
