Inserting PS1 to Tray notification area of Windows for its execution purposes

Is there a way to put PS1 file or LNK leading to it in the Tray notification area of Windows 10, so that it would be executable like some pinned EXE to Taskbar?

Or any other script file format for that matter?

Any ideas about how can this be done?
