Another way to do it

As the previous posts mentioned you can very well create own shortcut for Slingshot manually but it is worth to mention that there is good, working software to do it with gui, as well as manage your application shortcuts.
The software is called Main Menu (alacarte) and can be downloaded from ubuntu repositories.

sudo apt-get install alacarte
 
then go to terminal type alcarte
 
Main Menu (alacarte) 

and go to new item
set the command as wxmacmolplt
set the launcher
