Description of the new feature/enhancement

I did a user group presentation last night on getting started with Windows Terminal. One of the attendees had a question that I thought would make a good enhancement. Is there a way to have more than one default profile? In other words, when I open WT I'd like to have 2 specific tabs open. As far as I can tell this isn't possible now.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

It seems the easiest solution would be to enable the defaultProfile to include a list of default profiles. Maybe something like this:

    "defaultProfile": [
        "list": {
             "{993855ad-b0eb-4f3d-8370-1a8d5b53abb5}"
        },
        {
        "{c6783a98-47d9-4610-bc68-7a3f909e94fb}"
        }
