webbrowser-rs Feature Request: Allow "DONT SWITCH" Launch Flag on Mac

On Mac, I'd like to override the default behavior and open the browser in the background. This requires the Launch Services flag "DONT_SWITCH".

https://docs.rs/launch-services/latest/launch_services/struct.LSLaunchFlags.html

I request implementing a builder method to allow control of launch flags or otherwise enable "dont switch" behavior.

I think it should be ok to expose this out as a macos specific extension of BrowserOptions. I'd prefer this to be a dont_switch option instead of accepting open ended LSLaunchFlags , because some of them might affect behaviours which this crate guarantees.

Feel free to raise a PR if you wish, else I'll take it up over the next few days.

@jackbackes does the change in #106 solve sufficiently for the scenario you mention?
