Description
When I execute marktext foo.md and foo.md is not existed.
Case 1: when there is no running marktext instance
What I expect: marktext should be launched with titled foo.md. Then I can simply use Ctrl+S to save the file as the name foo.md.
Current behavior: marktext will launch with Untitled title.
Case 2: when there is a running marktext instance
What I expect: marktext should open a new tab with the title name foo.md.
Current behavior: marktext doesn't do anything.
Thanks a lot.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the Electron app handles the marktext foo.md command and forwards it when another instance is running. Verify both cases in the issue: a missing file opens with foo.md as its title, and an already-running instance creates a new tab with that title.
