Nickname/alias configuration for Run applications

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Vivaldi has this great feature of being able to give bookmarks nicknames. When you type a nickname of a bookmark to the address bar, it autocompletes the nick and takes you to the bookmark upon pressing enter.

It would be fantastic to have the same feature with Run.

With run, it would be great to have an additional button next to applications that would allow you to edit the nickname of that application. When typing out the nickname for that app next time, it would open it immediately.

Scenario when this would be used?

It is great to have it with the workflow because it allows for me to create easy access to all applications on my computer without having to type out the full name every time.

I could create 2 letter shortcuts for each application.
