Can I create a direct donation link?

If I make a free game and allow people to support it by donating, itch will pop up a message before they download the game and ask for a donation.

My problem with this is that most people won't donate before actually trying the game! I want people to be able to donate after they've downloaded the game via a link directly to the donation popup, that won't trigger a download (since they already have the game).

Can I do such a thing on itch.io? I'm aware of sites like ko-fi but I'd rather manage all donations in itch.

I agree with this!

Browser games have a "Support this game" button which is way less obtrusive/confusing. I wish downloadable content had something similar.
