Option of Launch using dedicated Graphics Card in the Ubuntu MATE #22

Hi everyone, everything fine? (if this topic is in the wrong place, please move to the correct place).

I'm using Ubuntu MATE 20.04.1 (version 1.24.0-2 of MATE), and the configuration of my Dell 7559 laptop is: Intel Core i5 (6th Gen) 6300HQ / 2.3 GHz; 16 GB DDR3L SDRAM 1600 MHz in dual channel; HD 1TB and 240GB SSD and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4GB GDDR5 SDRAM. Before I was using Ubuntu 20.04.1 with GNOME (3.36), but I felt that the system did not flow properly on my laptop. So far I am enjoying the performance I am having, except for two "problems". The first is in relation to the icons for the Portuguese language (Brazil), but it is not the object of the post.

What I miss about Ubuntu MATE, is the option to be able to right-click the app and open it with the dedicated GPU, just like in GNOME, with the "Launch using dedicated Graphics Card" option. So I would like to know if this functionality is on the "radar" to be implemented.

I'm available for testing if you need

It might be possible to implement this via an extension to Caja.
