Re: [w3c/manifest] [Proposal] Add more than one icon at PWA install (#841)

As a use-case, I have an app for 360° photos in equirectangular-panoramic (equirect-pano) format. This app create 2 icons at install time, one is "Camera" (to take photos in this format) and the second for "Gallery" (to view photos in this format). The second app is Facebook. One icon is "Facebook" (for social network) and the second "Facebook Chat" (for messenger).

As you can see, creating more than one icon at install is useful for apps that can be splitted to two or more separate individual apps, but they are connected and should be used together. Installing 2 apps from at once is inconvenient. Shortcut menu items is not intuitive (obvious) for some users.

This feature is very useful for super-apps (apps-in-app model) PWA (see https://www.maketecheasier.com/what-are-super-apps/ and https://techcrunch.com/2019/09/19/the-emergence-of-the-super-apps-in-latin-america/ for more info about “super apps”). :wink:
