'Add to Heroic' button in right click menu

Problem description

Adding games to Heroic could be more convenient

Feature description

Like the 'Add to Steam' button an 'Add to Heroic' could directly add exes to the launcher and prompt the 'Add Game' dialogue with the exe path prefilled in.

I'm not sure if we can do that. That's there on the steam deck because steam has full control over the OS, we don't.

It may be possible in collaboration with Bazzite or other distros.

I suppose this is similar to nemo_action.

Unfortunately, this idea, as shown in the image, would probably need to handle several different file managers, like Nautilus, Nemo, Thunar, Dolphin, PCManFM-Qt...

So if you're going to add a function like this, the correct way to do it is to create a .desktop file that calls a Heroic function, adding the path to the .exe file.
