So a simple fix would be to ship ubuntu-ui-toolkit-gallery.desktop in /usr/share/applications.

Another fix would be modify ubuntu-ui-toolkit-launcher to allow teaching UAL about a custom app on a temporary basis for such custom launches that aren't apps that we want to ship, but just apps-of-convenience. To do this, it could copy the provided desktop file into ~/.local/share/applications and delete it when done.

OR we could add API to UAL that allows using a custom desktop file.

I'm partial to options 1 and/or 2.
