Minecraft Windows 10 Edition
I'm able to add this to steam either by using an explorer.exe called with the App ID as a parameter, having a VB Script call the app similarly and making a dialog to stay open, and by having the shortcut reference ms-xbl-multipler://. In all cases I'm having issues with the overlay not working properly.

In just creating the shortcut that calls explorer.exe, steam doesn't realize that minecraft is still open, and i think it is technically still sitting on big picture mode. Doing either of the other two options is still weird since steam won't use the controller config set up for the game, it will use the default desktop config instead. So this is kind of passable as long as i'm willing to update my desktop config to work with Minecraft.

It would be best if the steam overlay could recognize minecraft like it recognizes other non-steam games, and it would also be great if non-steam games were given the opportunity to bring up the on screen keyboard (at least i haven't figured out a way to do that). I do know that hitting the steam key seems to behave similarly to how i described above where the screen will still show minecraft but it sounds and behaves like the controller is controlling BPM.
