Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows Explorer context-menu action “Open Hyper here” with an existing Hyper instance, then trace the desktop integration and window/tab handling entry points. Done means the action opens a new tab in the existing instance rather than creating a new window, while preserving the behavior when no instance is running.
