Feature Request: wt.exe supports command line arguments (profile, command, directory, etc.)

[fcharlie]

When Windows Terminal is installed on Windows 10, according to UWP package setting： https://github.com/microsoft/Terminal/blob/e37ba7a923427c9a874a6d5bdc27c80fe59db83c/src/cascadia/CascadiaPackage/Package.appxmanifest#L51
A ReparsePoint of type IO_REPARSE_TAG_APPEXECLINK is created in path %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe to start Windows Terminal. This is great, however, wt.exe should support richer command line arguments to enable third-party applications to open specific terminals.

[DHowett-MSFT]

It absolutely should. I'll mark this and use it as the backlog entry for supporting things like:

--profile
--command
--connection
--workdir (or whatever)

This'll help out with shortcut pinning, and let you do things like "I want to temporary launch WSL with my Powershell profile/keybindings (wt --profile Powershell -c wsl.exe)

@DHowett-MSFT Very Good. you can use CommandLineToArgvW convert Commandline to Argv.
If you need to parse Argv, the ParseArgv I wrote may be useful ：https://github.com/M2Team/Privexec/blob/master/include/parseargv.hpp

ParseArgv support subcommand

// https://github.com/M2Team/Privexec/blob/master/wsudo/wsudo.cc
// ParseArgv todo
int AppMode::ParseArgv(int argc, wchar_t **argv) {
  av::ParseArgv pa(argc, argv, true);
  pa.Add(L"version", av::no_argument, L'v')
      .Add(L"help", av::no_argument, L'h')

Hey, that's pretty helpful.
Thanks!
