Steam PlayOnLlinux-based custom shortcut
I'm trying to create a custom Steam Library shortcut for a PlayOnLinux game.
The problem is that, even without the --run option, PlayOnLinux fails to start. It looks like the Steam does something to the environment that confuses PlayOnLinux in terms of its Python runtime dependency. Here's the relevant output for a launch:

Please install python before trying to run this program
Game removed: AppID 0 "Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri", ProcID 19059
Compare with normal PlayOnLinux output when launching it directly:
[main] Message: PlayOnLinux (4.2.5) is starting
[clean_tmp] Message: Cleaning temp directory
[Check_OpenGL] Message: 32bits direct rendering is enabled
[Check_OpenGL] Message: 64bits direct rendering is enabled
[POL_System_CheckFS] Message: Checking filesystem for /home/lod/.PlayOnLinux/
[main] Message: Filesystem is compatible
The question is, simply, how to make a shortcut in Steam that will launch PlayOnLinux successfully?
