RawTherapee has the possibility to remove bad pixels (in this case due to laser) Dark-Frame - RawPedia
This will only work in RawTherapee so I wonder how to apply a bad pixel list in the DNG format? Is it possible to use Exiftool to add a bad pixel list, and in that case, how? I already have all the bad pixels in a text file for RawTherapee.

Will darktable read the Opcode tag FixBadPixelList?
Exiftool should be able to write the list, or possibly exiv2.
I’m not sure if dt supports that opcode - I’m pretty sure RT does not yet. I know someone around here wrote a tool that preprocesses DNGs to apply the GainMap, you could probably modify that to do bad pixel preprocessing.
Have you tried the hot pixels module in darktable to see if that will do the job? I have been pleasantly surprised how good that module tackles bad pixels.
