IS it possible to group apps together on the Gnome Favorites dock? I'm looking for something like Unity Drawers (http://unity-folders.exceptionfound.com/). I installed the app folders management extension that lets me do it in the applications overview, but it would save some space if I could for example group 5 of my music apps together on the favorites dock. (Actually, this is the top rated comment about the app folders management extension http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/05/simple-gnome-app-folders-extension)

This guy apparently started on something: https://snippets.webaware.com.au/snippets/drawers-for-gnome-3-gnome-shell/

again?

At the moment I think your best method would be to create your own launcher in ~/.local/share/applications
utilising quicklists.
eg a ~/.local/share/applications/browsers.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Web browsers

Exec=gnome-www-browser
