You could possibly also make a shell script that does this automatically. I believe most flatpak ids follow a pattern such as com.github.user.package, for github projects for example. So you could loop through all installed flatpaks, extract the name, and then add the alias.
You can symlink /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/org.gnome.Lollypop (if you are using a system installation) or ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin/org.gnome.Lollypop (if you are using a uset installation) to ~/.local/bin/lollypop and run it as lollypop.
Flatpak is nice but I really would like to see a way to run flatpakked application transparently e.g. don’t have to
flatpak run org.gnome.Lollypopand can just run the app via
LollypopYou could make aliases for each program, but I agree, there should be a way to set it up so they resolve automatically.

Agreed, but I also feel like such a thing should be included with Flatpak by default instead of leaving it to the users to solve.
You can symlink
/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/org.gnome.Lollypop(if you are using a system installation) or~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin/org.gnome.Lollypop(if you are using a uset installation) to~/.local/bin/lollypopand run it aslollypop.put flatpak in your PATH and you can youse the app name like normal
I just run them raw, like just
org.gnome.Lollypop
Not ideal, but it’s what I do
It’s fecking raw!
