Hi Ingwie,
turned out it was not as simple as just putting the xml file next to the shortcut. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be working without some executable file. I tried compiling a minimal .exe that just launches each game using a Playnite url. But for some reason that triggered my Windows Defender for some game, so this approach is not ideal. I found another approach used in https://github.com/Jonno12345/TileIconifier that uses visual basic scripts, which seem to do the trick.
There are still things to fix, but if you want you can try what I got so far and tell me if it works for you. If you encouter any crashes or errors, please supply an excerpt from the playnite.log file describing the error.
