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?

Oh huh, this is tracked in #4632, but looks like it never got it's own issue. Congratulations, this is now that issue.

Add support for --title to the wt.exe commandline args (#6296)
88db0e6 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Adds support for setting the terminal `title` with the commandline argument `--title <title>`.

## PR Checklist
* [x] Closes #6183
* [x] I work here
* [ ] Tests added/passed
* [ ] Requires documentation to be updated - probably does, yea

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

* I wasn't sure how we felt about `-t` being the short version of this argument, so I left it out. If we're cool with that, adding it wouldn't be hard.

## Validation Steps Performed
