I think you can't add custom program launcher with argument to dash. you
can only add program under application tab to favorite. You can create
program launcher on your desktop with argument. For that you should enable
the icon on your desktop. Just install the gnome-tweak-tool and start it go
to  File Manager tab >> Computer icon visible on desktop on it. After that
restart your gnome-shell ALT+F2 type 'r' and enter. Now icons are visible
on desktop. Now you can create launcher context menu >> Create launcher .
here you can provide argument to application (e.g firefox -ProfileManager).
