HAMRS Icon on Desktop?

I’m trying to get set up using HAMRS on my MAC desktop. It works fine so far…
However, what I would like to do is to somehow place the app Icon on my Desktop rather than going to my App folder every time I want to open it. When I have too many apps in my Doc it might be displaced if I open one too many apps…
Is there a way to place the Icon on my desktop??

Drag the app icon from your Applications folder to your Desktop. It’ll automatically make an alias to the app.

But the running app will still show in your Dock because that’s how the Doc works AFAIK. The Dock doesn’t “displace” apps as the number of icons increases, it just resizes everything so they all fit.
