Most of the ImageMagick utilities are primarily for use in the terminal.
That said you can create a desktop file yourself and put it in
~/.local/share/applications.  Something like this should do:

  [Desktop Entry]
  Name=Display
  Comment=from ImageMagick
  Exec=display
  Terminal=false
  Type=Application
  Categories=Application;Graphics;
  StartupNotify=false

Hope this helps,
