Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
After the wonderful new function in 6502, I'm now running with tabs hidden and relying more on kitty @ ls to navigate the multiple shell processes open in the multiple kitty tabs under the kitty OS Window. So far I'm not missing the visual tabs at all. Usually I'm only interested in the kitty @ ls output for a small subset of kitty windows, often the windows in the current tab or even just the current window, but kitty @ ls dumps all windows

*Describe the solution you'd like
It would be convenient to have kitty match parameters for kitty @ ls to select windows to list. It would be powerful to be able to match on user variables...

Describe alternatives you've considered
It's already possible to scroll the kitty @ ls output with shift-ctrl-g. It's possible to use JSON filters like jq on the output. This is clearly an enhancement for convenience only. If you want to avoid increasing the kitty code base for this, I perfectly understand. On the other hand, if it's a very minor tweak to add match logic to kitty @ ls, perhaps it's worth expanding the code base.
