Description of the new feature/enhancement

I'd like to launch a command line program from a shortcut using wt.exe if it's available on the system instead of it launching automatically using conhost

However this solution doesn't work on all systems, since not everyone has installed the Windows Terminal.

Is there a way to gracefully fallback if wt.exe is not detected.

Thanks for the request! Right now, there's not a really good way to handle this. It requires some OS side work, which we're tracking in #492. That workitem represents the work necessary to bring a customizable "default terminal" system to Windows.

/dup #492.
