Single icons on Mac?

How do I create individual desktop links on Mac? This is easy in windows, as I just create a desktop shortcut with the path and add a switch e.g. for docment --new=doc. Here is an example:

C:\Program Files\ONLYOFFICE\DesktopEditors\DesktopEditors.exe" --new=doc

How to do this on a Mac, as I can’t seem to get the switches to work.

I found the answer on another forum. This works:

  • open Script Editor(/Applications/Utilities/Script Editor)
  • copy-paste the code

Code:

do shell script "/Applications/ONLYOFFICE.app/Contents/MacOS/ONLYOFFICE --new:word"
  • save as an app on your Desktop.
