Unity has no method to maintain properties of launchers

Bug description:
Binary package hint: unity
In Unity I would like to have multiple icons for one application in
the same way that I do on my classic GNOME desktop. One points the
standard application binary, another has parameters appended. Right
now I'm told that the user has to maintain .desktop text files as
there is no GUI for setting this.
In GNOME 2 we were able to maintain the 'properties' of a launcher
with Right Click -> Properties. Can this functionality be ported to
Unity please?
Use case 1: Mark is a web developer and needs to test sites under
multiple personalities (admin, user, non-authorised user) in Firefox.
This is achieved with multiple profiles, each with their own cookies,
add-ons, cache etc.
firefox -profilemanager
Use case 2: Andy is a systems administrator and uses ssh frequently to
access a set of known boxes
ssh kwak.example.com
ssh faustino.example.com
Use case 3: Alan is testing some software, and would like to always
run it in debug mode so that he can give the verbose results of his
testing to the developer
tomboy --debug
