How do I click on a desktop link and have calibre open book?

I am running gentoo linux.

There is a book that I am reading frequently.

I want to able to create a link to that book on my desktop, click the link, and have the book open.

I don't want to go through the multi-step process of start -> office -> calibre -> choose book -> view.

I have a link to the book on my desktop, but when I click on it, calibre starts, and I get: "Books with the same title already exist in calibre. Select which books you want added."

I don't want to add the book, I want to open it.
