Id like to be able to go to a spesific URL to start an automation allowing us to create icons on the desktop or bookmarks to easily start an automation

Hi @fennectech thanks for the request.

I don't think that there is a way to create icons using Chrome extensions API, but adding an optional permission for Bookmarks api should be possible and after user's consent guess it should be possible to implement such functionality.

Regarding the URL navigation, you can use redirect action to navigate to the specific URL.

Chrome extensions have urls. So if you give each automation an URL it can be opened like any bookmark and started.
So. For example. extensionurl/recordings/recordingname/action=play. Just navigating to that url could start the automation recording.
