Create a shortcut to a specific app in Waydroid in Game Mode

I was able to get Waydroid set up and use the /usr/bin/waydroid-launcher shortcut to get a full session working in gamescope

Hardware I am using: Steam Deck OLED 1TB

Ideal state: I would like to open directly into an android application in gamescope like I can on desktop.

Is it possible to create a shortcut to just one app in game mode? I see that Waydroid creates shortcuts in desktop mode, but they do not work if they are added to gamscope, they just create a black screen or crash when launched.

I tried the custom command after /usr/bin/waydroid-launcher like it does for the desktop shortcuts and that did not work either.
