Hope this is what you are seeking …. the area directly to the left of the Trash icon in the Dock is the only place a user can store icons/folders etc … they act as shortcuts. You'll notice a dotted line next to the Trash or near to it.
You can also drag a web page icon or Favicon as they are know, directly onto the Desktop so you could have a whole folder of these if you wish.
