Those links are generated from standard location: /usr/share/applications
You need to put .desktop file for your application. Take a look at
existing files there for examples.

After you create new file there, execute qvm-sync-appmenus in dom0
(with template VM name as an argument).

Thanks for the information :) Seems its works only for TemplateVM?
Is it possible to somehow add custom links from AppVM to Start menu ->
AppVM(domain) &

Currently no - this works only for TemplateVMs, and StandaloneVMs - i.e.
only where /usr/share/applications persists.

This isn't true anymore. Desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications are also picked up.

Is there still a need to document this? This is somehow documented here https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/app-menu-shortcut-troubleshooting/
