I wish do add a .desktop file (Icon and exec) to kodi (favorite or a custom category)
How could I do that?

perhaps this would work for you - https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Advanced_Launcher

edit:

that addon is deprecated and i dont believe it works for newer kodi versions any longer

Thanks for the try.

perhaps this would be of use? - https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=366351
