Hello!
I was wondering, why Chromium can create a direct access (shortcut) in my POP-OS configuration menu When click on the three dots in the right upper corner of Chromium, and go to "Create shortuts..." in the "More" section, then it will make my POP-OS (Ubuntu-derivate) think, the shortcut is an application that is integrated in my Operating System.
This behaviour I want to change, and I would like to delete the supposed "application" from my systems configuration center.
Can anyone help me please, so that no hyperlink is shown too me as an application in my system configuration?

The weird thing is: I can see only the title of the hyperlink, but when I search for it in my browser Chromium, I cannot find it anymore, otherwise I would have shared it with you guys.
Thanks a lot!
Here are some screenshots:

Issue solved. The file org.chromium.Chromium.flextop.chrome-picciobgjhlcidbfkbehaaekedofnhpn-Default.desktop
was in ./local/share/applications. I deleted it and the Application "crear accesos directos en Chromium" (the former hyperlink) is gone.

Chromium created this file after I clicke "create shortut". I could eliminate it there. Issue solved.
