Create desktop shortcut to log in as another user

Question

I'm trying to create a desktop shortcut (presumably to an executable script?) that will log into another specific user account on my system.

I want to log in to this other user's desktop GUI, not open a terminal prompt as them.

I've created a shared user account just for steam big picture. I want a shortcut to Steam that won't prompt users to configure / log into steam within their user session. — Lucas Cantor, Apr 28 '14 at 15:18
The best response I've gotten on Reddit is to use dm-tool switch-to-user USERNAME — Lucas Cantor, Apr 28 '14 at 15:22

Looks like I can follow these instructions using the code in my previous comment: dm-tool switch-to-user USERNAME
