There's no requirement that you only install one desktop file, or even
that the desktop file that appears in the menus is the one that the file
manager uses.  If you install a second desktop entry like this:

Exec=bug-buddy --core= %f
NoDisplay=true

It won't appear in the menu, but nautilus will pick it up.
