I'm imagining that since snap is involved, it's some kind of magical
incantation, like "snap run brave". In other words, whatever thing
you're trying to configure to run this program had better be able to
pass arguments, not just take a single program name.
If the thing you're configuring can only take a single program name
and no arguments, then:
1) Verify that "snap run brave" is the right invocation by typing
that into a shell.
2) If that's working, then create a shell script:
mkdir -p ~/bin
printf '#!/bin/sh\nexec snap brave run\n' > ~/bin/brave
chmod 755 ~/bin/brave
3) Now tell the thing you're configuring that your browser is
/home/yourusername/bin/brave (don't try to use a tilde there).
