the tittle probably does not explain well but like as in when the website asks for a kind of app to open an app. I need it for these 2 desktop files:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Polytoria
Exec=env "WINEPREFIX=/home/shared/wineprefixes/Polytoria" wine "C:\\users\\epik\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Polytoria\\Polytoria.exe" %U
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Comment=The cross-platform launcher for Polytoria.
Path=/home/shared/wineprefixes/Polytoria/drive_c/users/epik/AppData/Local/Programs/Polytoria
Icon=ACA4_Polytoria.0
StartupWMClass=polytoria.exe
Categories=Game
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/polytoria;
[Desktop Entry]
Name=AmongUsHelper
Exec=env WINEPREFIX=/home/shared/wineprefixes/Amongus2 wine /home/shared/Games/AmongUs/AmongUsItch/'Among Us_Data'/Resources/AmongUsHelper.exe
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Comment=Helper to login to AmongUs
Path=/home/shared/Games/AmongUs
StartupWMClass=AmongUsHelper.exe
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/amongus;

But when I try to do it with lutris it just opens the app normally so that's inconvenient. Is there any way to do this?

or at least to open it with other versions of wine and activate stuff like VKD3D and all that
