You mean, by right-clicking on the desktop (we don't have that in
GNOME)? Or something else?

I can tell you that GNOME does support the menu spec, for sure.

There's no support for environment variables in the desktop entry spec,
and therefore there's no guarantee that this will work on all
implementations.
