How to create a shell shortcut? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

How can I make a desktop shortcut of the two highlighted shell files (forge.sh and forge-adventure.sh)? Copying and pasting doesn't work since the filepath isn't brought over with them. I've tried using Menu Editor but can't find a decent guide on setting it up.

Short hint for the Desktop directory: /home//Desktop is language specific! On my german system for example it is /home//Schreibtisch

Therefore, you shouldn't use /home//Desktop or ~/Desktop in snippets/scripts, but "$(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP)".

Example: touch "$(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP)/MyApp.desktop"

Schreibtisch! ~/SCHREIBTISCH! angreifen "$(xdg-user-dirs SCHREIBTISCH)/MeinApp.schreibtisch" bitte! German is amazing.
