App

Is your suggested feature related to a problem? Please describe.

It can be annoying to open modrinth to start Minecraft, open the server etc... What about we skip all these steps and directly access the server from a shortcut?

Describe the solution you'd like

The best solution would be having an option to create a shortcut to a specific instance (in the right click menu for example or in instance options) and then being able to select a world or a server that this shortcut is linked to. It could use launch links similar to steam: "steam://launch/[appid]/dialog". This can be done on running the JVM through arguments already.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't think we could do anything except maybe creating a UI for a mini Modrinth launcher that would be in the taskbar, similar to Jetbrains Toolbox.

Additional context

This is a duplicate of #673 that got closed with commit 03a6b03 for some reason.
