CLI argument to open the specified chat in its own window

[alxlg]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Not a problem but a useful feature to have.

Describe the solution you'd like

I enabled the experimental feature that let you open a chat in a window with a Ctrl+click in the GUI.

Telegram also offers the ability to open a specific chat using its CLI.

I think it would be useful to be able to specify, from the CLI, that a specific chat should be opened in its own window, just like one would with the ctrl+click in the GUI.

Something like --new-window.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I am not aware of any already existing implementation of this nor any workaround.

"Telegram also offers the ability to open a specific chat using its CLI." you mean by username from external app?

@john-preston I mean using the tg:// URI scheme:

telegram-desktop tg://resolve?domain=username

and I am looking for something like:

telegram-desktop --new-window tg://resolve?domain=username

@alxlg @john-preston @kenvandine @jhasse is there any solution for this problem already ?

Noticed that I quite often need to open same chat from different accounts when do testing of telegram bot

I can do that manually but it becomes quite time-consuming over time

The correct way is telegram-desktop -- tg://resolve?domain=username. The double hyphen is needed for it to work.

EDIT: Works but not the solution to the original problem.
