Is there an option or way to go directly into a system (PS1, N64, etc) LB game selection with icon on "desktop"?

So the usual way LB Android works is that you load LB, then it gives you a systems list, then you select system, then it gives a list of your games.  Is there a way or option to put system icons on the Android "desktop" to go directly into LB game selector? This would bypass first loading LB, then selecting system.   Basically I could have an icon for PS1, icon for SNES, icon for Genesis, etc on the Android device "desktop".  Tapping the PS1 icon would go directly into the usual LB PS1 game list selector.  This skips a few steps and basically makes Android desktop the system selector.  Is there a way to do that with some kind of link or script or something?

Not yet, but it’s possible. Android supports app shortcuts on the home screen, so we could add an “Add to Home Screen” option for each platform. Tapping the icon would open LaunchBox straight into that platform’s game list.

If you’d like to see this in LaunchBox for Android, please create a feature request. That way we can see how many users want it and prioritize it.

That would be a great addition (would also be possible for PC too) . No one could object to the change as it is completely optional to use.  Hopefully it is not to hard to implement and could be added even if it is not hugely popular. Sometimes people don't think they would like it until it is actually there.  Another selling point for LB that no other launchers have wouldn't hurt either.  Thanks for considering though.

I tried to add to feature request but I couldn't log in.
