This is extremely simple to fix with scripts that can be automatically created on install time. Here is a quick script I just wrote. It will search for first matching app and run it. Just save the script as flatrun, give it executable bit and put it into $PATH. Run it as like this: flatrun freetube

<span style="color:#323232;">#!/usr/bin/env bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># flatrun e
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># flatrun freetube
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">if [ "${#}" -eq 0 ]; then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	flatpak list --app --columns=name,application
</span><span style="color:#323232;">else
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	app="$(
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		flatpak list --app --columns=name,application |
</span><span style="color:#323232;">			grep -i -F "${@}" |
</span><span style="color:#323232;">			awk -F't' '{print $2}'
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	)"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	if [ -z "${app}" ]; then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		flatpak list --app --columns=name,application
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	elif [[ "$(echo "${app}" | wc -l)" -gt 1 ]]; then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		echo "${app}"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	else
</span><span style="color:#323232;">		flatpak run "${app}"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	fi
</span><span style="color:#323232;">fi
</span>

Edit: Just updated the script to output the list of matching apps, if it matches more than one.
