PsfLauncher and shortcut to url

Did not yet tried myself, but does anyone know if it is possible to create a MSIX shortcut, which does start a url to e.g. http://www.google.com using the default browser?

Maybe with psflauncher and config.json configuration?

I now use a cmd, containing ‘start https://www.google.com’, which does work. But maybe this can we made easier?

config.json
MSIX
psflauncher

    This is my config which is working.

        <Application Id="PSFLAUNCHERThree" Executable="PsfLauncher3.exe" EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication">
          <uap3:VisualElements AppListEntry="default" BackgroundColor="transparent" Description="Google url" DisplayName="Google url" Square150x150Logo="Assets\Edge-Square150x150Logo.scale-400.png" Square44x44Logo="Assets\Edge-Square44x44Logo.scale-400.png" VisualGroup="Test"></uap3:VisualElements>
        </Application>


      "applications": [
        {
          "id": "PSFLAUNCHERThree",
          "executable": "https://www.google.com/",
          "arguments": "",
          "workingDirectory": ""
        }
      ]
