Is it possible to launch a desktop shortcut which in turn launches said game via Galaxy? The same way Steam does it where you double click the desktop icon and it launches Steam, which directly launches the game. I want to take advantage of Galaxy's cloud support but have the ease of using a desktop shortcut to do so.

Put an icon on desktop and try.

That just launches the game, but not from Galaxy.

Well,maybe that hasn't been implemented yet.

What you would need is some sort of command line support, e.g. your shortcut link could be something like:
galaxy -user:abc -pw:def -star:game.exe

There are wishlist entries to add this, but as yet not implemented. Search galaxy wishlist under "command line".

There is a way, it was mentioned by one of the Galaxy devs in a recent thread. I don't remember the syntax though, I will see if I can find it; in the mean time your best bet would be to ask that in the Galaxy sticky thread.
