You can I just wish it was accessible on the GUI.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can add Nested Desktop as a non-Steam game and access it from Gaming Mode. Makes it so you can switch between games and Desktop without having to exit the game too. You might have to tinker with controls and the dim/sleep power settings.
Just to make sure you noticed, when you're in "gaming mode", you can switch to desktop mode easily by going to power menu (either by pressing the power button, or gui power button) and it'll offer you to switch.
