Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hydra can't run files other than .exe

Describe the solution you'd like

I'm running Linux, and I would like to be able to make Hydra run a .desktop file or something so that I can use Lutris to run games or use johncena141 games.

Describe alternatives you've considered

.desktop files are abstractions for executables, just like .ink files, which are Windows shortcuts, are more useful when you don't want a third-party interface to call these executables (interfaces like steam, epic, etc...). The only advantage would be to pass execution arguments to wine, but things like lutris already do this very well, anyway, it's a point to consider.
