Hallo everyone, I played with this a little and just wanted to tell you my
feedback. If I put Link in the category of the .desktop file, trying to add
it to Ibar will fail. If I right click on Ibar and choose to add an icon, it
won't show in the list.
To have it working, I had to add Application to the category too. In that
way it started showing and worked.
Plus, I later eliminated the Application string from category and it didn't
disappear from Ibar.
So I guess this could be some sort of bug because Ibar supports launchers
with a category setted to Link but people cannot browse this kind of files
when adding a new icon (Only applications are shown). Here's the final
result of my temporary experiment.

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Prova
Type=Link
URL=file:/usr/share/
Categories=System;Application
Terminal=false
Name[it_IT]=Prova
Comment[it_IT]=Prova
Icon=/usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/status/dialog-warning.svg
Comment=Prova
GenericName[it_IT]=Prova

As I said, it is just an experiment.
Greetings,

Luca
