Since jqt is not automatically installed, at least not with the .zip download for macOS, it would seem to make sense to have a separate script, say shortcutjqt.ijs, to make a workable jqt.app.
I tried to make such a new .ijs myself (and just for Darwin), but in shortcut.ijs I just doh’t see any actual invocation of a verb to do anything! All I see are definitions of verbs and nouns (shortcut, C, L, etc., vbs, win, desktop, linux, gutter, plist, COM Darwin, darwin, jhsrun).
