The scripts https://github.com/livMatS/dtool-lookup-gui/blob/master/maintenance/set_launcher_icon.sh and https://github.com/livMatS/dtool-lookup-gui/blob/master/maintenance/soft_link_launcher.sh do this (in the user's home, not system-wide, adapted from what I had seen in some Zotero release). If we want that to happen when pip-installing, then maybe just as done here, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25284879/install-desktop-file-with-setup-py

Now that we have a Windows exe installer and a macos dmg, we could as well pack deb and rpm as well, looks easy with https://github.com/marketplace/actions/build-deb-action and https://github.com/marketplace/actions/build-rpm-action.
