You might want to read this first, a method that I used as a reference (hence notthe entire method for the aforementioned title, only a part of it). I included this as credits to the original poster, and also this is a neat trick for those who prefer to run Warframe without Steam.
All guides that I found to run Warframe that previously downloaded via Steam suggest that you need to download installer and copy the files to new installation directory.
In fact, they are the same files so you don't need to download the installer at all, just add command line argument to the Launcher as the steam do[1]. And the Launcher will start as usual.
The step:
find the Launcher.exe, it located in steam_folder\steamapps\common\Warframe\Tools\Launcher.exe
Make shortcut from Launcher.exe
Open shortcut properties, add " -cluster:public -registry:Steam" without quotation mark after original Target. Click Ok to save. (OP edit: if your Target box contains quotation marks on its own, put the command after those quotation marks.)
Now you you have sortcut to run Warframe directly without steam. You can move the shortcut as you like ie. Desktop.
Now, I will assume that you have read the above article or that you already knew the above method.
Now back to the main topic, if you want to make the game think you run it through Discord, just edit out the "-registry:Steam" part in the shortcut Properties > Target box and replace it with "-registry:Discord".
Run the game using the new shortcut as Administrator, make sure Discord Overlay is enabled and you have added Warframe to your Discord library (Go to Discord Home > Store > Warframe > Add to library. No need to click Install.)
No reinstalling needed. I have tried it with a Steam installation and it worked. No idea how it fares with a standalone installation, but it might also work.

Update: Someone has made a video about this method. (WARFRAME discord bundle (Reverence Pack) by AZNSPOT). Hope this helps those who prefer a video reference.
Oh by the way you can get a month of Nitro Games for free if you're a Hypesquad member for a while and have been active on Discord.
