For firejail --overlay option, is it possible to create a shortcut on the desktop and run the application?

Additionally would the application have access to all other mounted partitions?

@Raj2032, you can do something like:

cat > ~/Desktop/XY << EOF
#!/bin/bash
firejail --overlay PROGRAM
EOF
chmod +x ~/Desktop/XY

oder you create a .desktop file with Exec=sh -c 'firejail --overlay PROGRAM'
