SUMMARY
***
I want to create a keyboard shortcut to launch Wine programs using Shortcuts in System Settings.
Guitar Pro 8 or EZDrummer3 can succesfully be added to the applications list through Add Applications but no matter what custom shortcut combination is used, they will not launch using the set shortcut combination.
This does work for a native application like Reaper.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a program through Wine
2. Use Add Application in Shortcuts to add the installed program to Shortcuts application list
3. Set a custom shortcut

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens at all.

EXPECTED RESULT
The installed program should launch.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.113.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When adding a program like Reaper, Shortcut will show "REAPER:" on the right side of the window.
When adding a Wine program like Guitar Pro 8 or EZDrummer 3, it merely shows "_launch:" instead of the name of the program.
