Description
### Feature Description
In settings, you can add icons if a workspace title matches some name. At present, you can only see/edit/add these for each named workspace that actually exists on your computer at that moment.
It would be nice to be able to see all the rules whether or not the workspace is visible and add new rules for arbitrary titles right there in the settings menu
### Use Case
QOL improvement for dealing with named workspaces in DMS, and reduces invisible DMS state/configuration

Research direction
Start at the settings menu's workspace icon rules, then trace how rules are currently limited to visible workspaces and how they are stored. Done means existing rules remain visible and editable, while a new rule can be created for an arbitrary workspace title; the issue names no files or tests to run.
