Description of the new feature

So i wanted so that i could pin separate profiles for example, i have a ssh profile to a server i login regularly so that instead of going into terminal and making a new tab or even right-clicking the terminal and waiting for the dropdown is sometimes not that smooth for me personally, so i would like so that i could pin profiles to taskbar like they were apps and run them with their specified set of commands.

Proposed technical implementation details

No response

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm gonna dupe this over to /dup #8216. That thread covers a lot of the same idea.

FWIW you could always make a shortcut on the taskbar with a commandline of wt new-tab -p {the profile you want}. That would however always spawn a new tab of that profile.

There's also /dup #12135, for "I want to switch to the most recent window with a given profile"
