Special thanks to for implementing the base feature! Troubleshooting You can refine the images by using filters for animated images, blurred, no logo or memes for example, but it will always pick the first it finds for the filters automatically.

The Valve devs don't appear to value this feature enough to enhance it, currently.Small project to link UWP games and XboxGamePass to Steam Short answer to your question: No, I don't believe there is, currently, a way to do this, within steam. I ran a cursory search, for you, for VDF editors and while there are some (like this), it probably cannot do what you are attempting and would, quite frankly, be far more convoluted than simply adding the non-steam shortcut by hand.
