What is the idea?

The Windows Terminal app contains profiles for terminal-based applications. These are stored in a settings.json file that can be appended. The Microsoft documentation contains a few examples of dynamic profiles.

Why is this needed?

Conda packages such as the console shortcuts for Miniconda, Anaconda Distribution, and Miniforge can be opened in the Windows Terminal, but do not appear in the profile list. This would be a great convenience feature to use the tab feature of the Windows Terminal instead of having to open a new Window each time.

What should happen?

A new option should be added to allow adding Windows Terminal profiles.

Additional Context

This is currently focused on the Windows Terminal, but the schema should be updated such that it could potentially be expanded to other platforms if the profile config files have plain-text configuration files.
