[Request]: The ability to integrate applications from a chroot into the host menu

[zeitue]

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
