The dock needs a .desktop file to connect a window to its app, as per freedesktop standards
Nowadays flatpak, the default installation method, force that standard, but apps like through wine or appimage, needs to have a .desktop file to be created You can use PinIt in appcenter for that
There are discussions for a fallback for the dock, but i understand the arguments against it - it is pretty much having to clean behind app developers ignoring some of the oldest standards
