Is there a way to create desktop shortcut via context menu?

I feel like Ubuntu lacks this quality of life feature, that Windows has. To create shortcuts just by right clicking on icons of applications. I want to be able to do it from anywhere and especially from Applications menu.

Here's how I imagine it:

Design

Moreover, it would be cool for the context menu to have more features.

Is there any extensions or apps to allow you do that?

Last I heard, gnome **doesn't want** users to have icons on the desktop. From the devs' perspective, it's not a feature they failed to include but a way to mindlessly pollute the UI. If that's still true, they aren't going to give you the choice out of the box.

Gnome won't let you by default. XFCE will:

As an alternative you could try to install this addon which extends the Gnome's desktop capabilities... As vanadium pointed out this "addon" is included with Ubuntu 22.04

Delete your last line: this "addon" is already included in a default Ubuntu 22.04 install.

Yeah, I tried XFCE and it's ugly imo and I failed to customize it to look as good as GNOME does

I understand, it is good that linux has so many choices.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
