Research direction
Start by reproducing the saved Launch Configuration flow with Hotkey Window enabled and Pin to bottom selected on macOS. Trace how the pinned bottom window handles hotkey launches and how saved configurations open, then verify that the configuration creates a new tab in that window rather than a separate window.

Describe the bug
Open a saved Launch Configuration will open a new window, it is not replacing the pinned to the bottom window I'm using.
To Reproduce
- Save a Launch Configuration
- Go to Settings > Features > Hotkey Window and toggle it on. Set a hotkey and the option "Pin to bottom".
- Press the hotkey
- Press ^ + CMD + L and open your saved Launch Configuratoin
Expected behaviour
The Launch Configuration should open a new tab with it's layout in the pinned to the bottom window.
Screenshots

The saved configuration is opened as a new window instead of adding a new tab to the bottom window.
