Chrome users, No application shortcuts on OS X?

I am not using chrome fulltime due to my android switch.

Any reason google does not allow this anymore? or is there any version of chrome that allows application shortcuts?

I am running 10.8.4 and standard chrome. I know there are variations of chrome but unsure of one that would provide this.


Such a simple thing that im shocked isnt there. Hopefuly this is in the correct place! thanks ahead of time everyone
