The relevant specification is freedesktop.org Desktop Entry Specification.

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/

You need to create a desktop entry for emacsclient (the article linked
upthread walks you through that) and remove desktop entries for emacs
(that’s up to you if you really want it, but you might not need it if
you make emacsclient.desktop the default (which the article also
explains)).

Desktop entries are simple files, normally located in
/usr/share/applications or the ‘applications’ subdirectory of any
directory listed in the $XDG_DATA_DIR environment variable.
