Try ln command to make symbolic link to your secondary drive.

You can then directly jump to your secondary drive from your Desktop

Desktop icons work differently in 19.04, due to changes in GNOME Shell. It's still a work-in-progress.

Most individual icons no longer work. Folders do. Create a desktop folder called Work in Progress... or pseudo Desktop... and create/move your symbolic link INSIDE the new folder. It'll work there.
