What’s the problem with writing a .desktop file for a TUI app? Make the exec line open a terminal and run the app in it. If you want to open the app in place you could probably have the exec line determine the focused terminal and send a command to it to have it run the app.

In fact, I thought this was already a thing; I'm pretty sure last time I was on a DE with an application menu, it had ex. htop in there.
