Upstream closed it as duplicate of
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/184 and basically argue
that it's not an useful feature. Do you find it useful in other places
than the desktop view. If not maybe they are right and it should be a
feature request for the desktop view (which is a new component now)

Title:
.desktop files not displayed or executed correctly in 3.30
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I told VirtualBox to create a desktop icon for one of my virtual
machines. It worked just fine in cosmic.
After upgrading to disco, however, instead of showing up as an icon,
it shows up as a ".desktop" text file, and double-clicking it just
opens the text file in gedit.
I tried deleting and recreating the icon in VirtualBox, and that
didn't help.
