It is a bit better than that. First, you can in general start an AppImage from your file manager without having to set up any path. Second, there is AppImageLauncher [1] which is takes care of adding AppImages to the launcher and "storing" them in ~/applications instead of the download folder. Last, there is App Outlet [2] which offer an app store like experience for snap, flatpak and AppImage files. Click, install and run. It is very nice and simple.
