In there you should see a number of Icon files with random strings of characters as names. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam\games (assuming the default location for your steam install). To do that, right click on the shortcut and choose “Change Icon…”. As a final step though, you can give it an icon matching the game. You now have a working shortcut that you can pin to your start menu or taskbar.
Set the name of the shortcut to the name of the game. So, what you end up with should look something like, “%windir%\explorer.exe steam://rungameid/212680” When prompted for the location, type “%windir%\explorer.exe” (no quotes), followed by a space, and then paste the URL you copied from the Steam shortcut. Right click on the desktop and go to New->Shortcut. It should be something like “steam://rungameid/212680” Right click on the new shortcut, go to Properties, and then copy the ‘URL’ section. Open Steam, right click on the game in your library, and choose “Create Desktop Shortcut”. There is a way to manually create shortcuts to steam games that you can put anywhere though, including the start menu. There are apps that will do this, but they require access to your steam account, and there is an intermediate step in opening the game. For some reason, Steam lets you create desktop shortcuts to individual games, but there is no straightforward way to add a tile pointing to the game in your start menu. This has nothing to do with Tempest or web development, but I just figured this out, and it might be useful to someone.
