The documentation states that a constant static title can be achieved, regardless of shell, by setting the tabTitle and suppressApplicationTitle settings in the profile blocks.

If tabTitle could be set as a commandline argument, then together with suppressApplicationTitle in the settings we could do something like this in a open-workspace.bat

@echo off
start /b wt.exe new-tab -d .\frontend --title "Frontend" ; new-tab -d .\backend --title "Backend"; new-tab -d .\types --title "Shared Types"

This would allow creating something like a workspace with nicely named tabs :)

I'm not sure what the short name should be since -t has meaning in other commands. Though since there's no conflict with new-tab I guess it's okay?
