Open an Application, then when the applet appears on the panel while application is open, right-click it and select "Add to Favourites" - it is now permanently in your panel.

You need to download a mini dock from Gnome extensions - unfortunately it adds other gubbins too but I can't do anything about that.

Well had to update my installed extensions and guess what? A new extension for just what you need!:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/ ... op-button/

You can also use the keyboard command of:

Ctrl+ Alt+ D
