Description

### Problem

There is no way to run any script ([example](https://github.com/PlatonB/high-perf-bio/blob/master/__run_gui_streamlit.sh)) by double-left clicking or at least from the context menu.

### Proposal

Add to Properties the option as in the screenshots below.

### Prior Art (Optional)

`Allow executing file as program` checkbox in Gnome:

`Is executable` checkbox in KDE:

![allow_exec_sh_kde](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/25541767/172915848-76b5971b-b393-4b25-a71c-465cfb350e01.png)
