Duplicate Chrome web app icons
SUMMARY
Chromium/Chrome web apps duplicate icons when pinned to Task Manager and
launched by clicking on it, as per attached screenshot.
This is a known issue and there is a workaround as per forum below:
https://superuser.com/questions/1015796/in-kde-plasma-5-how-to-i-create-standalone-launchers-desktop-shortcuts-to-web-a
However, this is a bit funky, as you can see the icons moving around to remove
the duplicate icon.
This could work out of the box with only one icon on the Task Manager behaving
like any other app icon pinned to the Task Manager.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any Chromium based browser
2. Click the 3 dots button to open the menu -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut ->
Select the "Open as Window" checkbox -> OK
3. Open the Application Launcher -> Chrome Apps -> Right-click on the app ->
Pin to Task Manager.
4. Pin to Task Manager
5. Click on the app icon on the Task Manager to launch the app
OBSERVED RESULT
The app launches on a separate icon. With duplicate icons on the Task Manager.
EXPECTED RESULT
The app launches on the same icon clicked, without creating another icon

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Chrome browser is not pinned to my Task Manager, otherwise it would group
the icons with the browser's icon, which is another issue, already raised here.
