You can just create a shortcut with a custom icon that opens slack in a new browser window then.

Missing the point. I don't want it in my browser. My browser is used for reference materials and things like that. My chat app is its own separate thing and easily switched to.
You can do this already for slack in chromium browsers. Click Menu -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut. The app will run in an app window and NOT a tabbed browser window, just like a PWA, with it's own dock icon and cmd-tab icon.
