Alternatively, as the link is only needed in one qube, create a custom
Menu entry.
Remember that you can use qvm-run in dom0 to launch applications in
appVMs. So you can create a simple .desktop file which will run the
command in the required qube, using either qubes-desktop-run or qvm-run.
(HINT - open a terminal in the qube and find out what command you need
to run to start the application. Then try that command in dom0 using
qvm-run. THEN edit the desktop file to use that command.)

Then just write a custom menu entry calling that desktop file.

Webmail

custom.desktop

You need to move the .desktop file to /usr/share applications in the TemplateVM 
upon which your AppVM depends and then run qvm-sync-appmenus in Dom0
