Basic Container Functionality for APP Items

[Xarishark]

Description

In addition to the existing toggles for Simple Ping and New Tab, adding a new toggle for Docker container pairing would be incredibly useful.

For example, I have containers that are usually spun down, but occasionally, I need to start them up for specific tasks. Once I'm done, I want them to spin down again.

A simple way to achieve this would be to allow users to pair an app shortcut with a Docker container. By enabling a Docker Controls toggle, users could select which container the app shortcut should control. How It Would Work:

1. The app tile would display the container’s running/stopped status.
   

2. A Play/Stop button would allow users to start or stop the container directly.
   

3. Clicking the app shortcut would launch the app, and once finished, users could press Stop to spin the container down.
   

4. The existing container status indicators from the Tools > Docker page could be reused for consistency.
   

This feature would make managing app-linked containers much more seamless and efficient.

Priority

Medium (Would be very useful)
