If I were to sandbox selected applications upon startup, how do I set it up in such a way that if I were to click on the shortcut on the DE tasbar (not the firetool taskbar), then how do I get it to launch under firejail?

You can run sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firejail /usr/local/bin/PROGRAM,
for example that would be sudo ln -s /usr/bin/firejail /usr/local/bin/firefox for firefox

You can use the firecfg tool to do this for all programs with an existing profile: sudo firecfg
With sudo firecfg --clean you get back to where you are now.
