In Ubuntu 21.04 running GNOME I have a right-click menu for the launcher that opens each of my nine GnuCash book files. In versions of Ubuntu running GNOME, I find that the edited GnuCash.desktop file goes into the ~/.local/share/applications/ directory and must be flagged "executable" to be visible to the launcher. I haven't tried it in other desktop environments. Years ago I created a page on the GnuCash wiki for customizing Unity launchers, but sadly those instructions aren't completely compatible with GNOME, and I have not updated the page since Ubuntu deprecated Unity. Somewhere around here I have a sample .desktop file I created to use as an example, but you can learn a lot by looking at some of the existing applications. I just searched the web and discovered an application called MenuLibre. It's in the Ubuntu repositories so I installed it. MenuLibre successfully opened my custom GnuCash launcher file and showed each custom right-click command under "Actions" at the bottom of the screen. https://bluesabre.org/menulibre/ MenuLibre claims to be compatible with many (most common) desktop environments, not just GNOME. Maybe you will find it helpful.
