Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating application startup argument handling and the existing UEFI boot-order and reboot path; done means recognizing a launch option that immediately boots Linux while preserving normal direct .exe startup.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Sorry if I just missed this feature somewhere, I'm not sure where to check. But I'd like to see launch parameters added which make Linux boot immediately. I have a shortcut to WinToLinux on my desktop, and I'd prefer to set some launch arguments like "-startlinux" or something which immediately boots into Linux when double clicking the icon. Since you can only add arguments to programs with a Shortcut of some kind, you'd still be able to open the software if you needed just by opening the .exe directly.
