Flatpak can't launch non-steam games via Steam :(
Yeah it can*
Is there a way to do it without breaking the sandbox? I've been looking for a few days for a way to do this without any luck.
What do you mean by breaking the sandbox. You add permissions to let it see other drives if that's what you mean. Other then that, I just let it see my home and add non steam games. They come up like you would with Windows.

I can't figure out a way to do it without using flatpak-spawn maybe I should create a thread on Lemmy to see if anyone else knows a way.
You just give it permission to see whatever directory you're launching the exe from
I'm not launching an exe I am trying to launch flatpaks and appimages
