Is it possible to make a steam:// desktop shortcut leading to a non-Steam program?

With any game on Steam, it's possible to make a desktop shortcut for it by pointing it to a location with the steam:// protocol, like so:

Team Fortress 2 desktop shortcut, pointing to *steam://rungameid/440*

However, is it possible to create a shortcut like this for a non-Steam program that is in my Steam library?
