[Settings] Deep link into Settings for a PowerToys Run Plugin

[hlaueriksson]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

It is possible to deep link into settings for a specific utility:

PowerToys/src/common/Common.UI/SettingsDeepLink.cs

Line 90 in 5ef9187

public static void OpenSettings(SettingsWindow window, bool mainExecutableIsOnTheParentFolder)

Or via:

PowerToys.exe --open-settings=<SettingsWindowName>

As a PowerToys Run community plugin author, it would be nice to be able to deep link directly in to the settings of a plugin.

For example with:

PowerToys.exe --open-settings=Run --plugin-id=CEA0FDFC6D3B4085823D60DC76F28855

Scenario when this would be used?

A plugin could display a result to the user to open the Settings and edit the plugin configuration.

This would be useful for:

• A newly installed plugin that require configuration
• A plugin that is in an invalid configuration state
• A plugin that has a specific query for settings

If the plugin settings are opened, the plugin should be scrolled into position, expanded and focused:
