Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, the problem with launching games after an install.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see a text field and folder tree to find and select an executable in the application in two locations. Perhaps once you hit "Setup" on a "Setup Only" style game, it starts the already assigned installer and shows a window on the Drop-App. The windows could say, "Installer loading. Please install the game and once installed return to this window and select your launchers location".

You could have the ability to manually add this, but a button could be on a field to launch a windows to find your files. If on Linux it would open up in the umu install location where your Pfx is located. On Windows it would start at your C:\Program Files directory or similar (x86) folder. You then navigate to the exe, bin, sh, or whatever and select the correct file to launch the game. Once done, hit a "OK" button on the popup prompt style window and the client now stores this location for launching the same.

Additional context
I know you have a "Launch String Template" in the options section of the client. However, this is fairly confusing for non-tech oriented people using the drop instances. So I think a extended or modified version of this could be helpful and give the user two methods for launching a executable.

A mock concept example of the "Options" modification. The folder icon could launch the select menu.
