Question about drun

On Hyprland most likely what you're using for an app launcher is something like 'rofi -show drun -modi drun,filebrowser,run,window'.  You might have a keybind or a module on waybar that wil run that.  My question is I know drun will show you what you have for '.desktop' files but was wondering if there is a way to also have it show something from Gnome or KDE favorites.  I know I can make my own personal rofi menu that I manually have favorites in and rofi does in fact populate the top of the view with frequently used apps but was still wondering if this is possible?

Re: Question about drun

Hello! I guess some searching should reveal how those KDE/Gnome favorites are stored. If regular files, they could be copied/moved to where other applications are, but you mention a separate favorites menu and while I am not familiar with rofi, its documentation or discussions (on github) should help with that.
