How to make executables appear in Rofi?

I want to know how I can make AppImages, Executables and others appear on Rofi when I search for them, I’ve been getting bored of having to go to their specific path every time. For example, games installed via steam appear, but games from itchio that I just extract from a zip don’t, how can I change that?

Add a .desktop launcher file.

Modify template accordingly and save it to ~/.local/share/applications

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=/path/to/executable
Name=Name of Application
Icon=/path/to/icon
