I don't know how Ubuntu does this any more - I did it a few times several years ago. After some experimenting (on the Unity desktop), I can get you a Leo launch icon on the desktop, I can get Leo added to the list of applications that can be used to open a file, but I can't get the launch icon to accept drag and drop. And each Leo file you launch by right-clicking it in file manager and choosing Leo opens it in a new Leo session - just what you didn't want. OTOH, you can drag right from the file manager onto an open instance of Leo and it will open the file in the same Leo session. It seems that is pretty close to what you asked for.
