I recommend opening a new issue. I'll mark it as an enhancement and may look at it someday, but it would be nice to get some help to create a WinGet package.

The last time this came up, a user created a WinGet package for WinSetView following the guidelines for a portable app and there was an issue. Those guidelines apparently required the use of a symlink instead of a shortcut. But a symlink won't work correctly from a Cmd or PowerShell prompt. It works fine when double-clicked or executed via the Run menu. If this is accurate, I think it was a very silly idea for the powers that be to insist on a symlink. If they still have that requirement, then a WinGet package for WinSetView (and any portable app you wish to run from the command line) will be at least partially broken.
