Open a new window when when wexond is re-executed, highlight tabs created via command line

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. For some time, I used wexond as my default browser, but there were a few problems regarding UX, because of which I changed it back. Most browsers, when re-executed (executable is started while application is already running) open a new window - which is very convenient. When you have multiple activities or virtual desktops, you don't need to search your old window. Another issue emerges when opening a link with wexond (runnung "wexond example.com" in the shell for example): A new tab is created, but wexond does not highlight itself. Most browsers highlight themselves after opening something in them (when windows was minimized, it is not anymore; if applications are above browser, browser jumps to the front), which is very practical, as you most likely want to use a tab after you opened it.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Wexond opens a new window when executed without arguments.
  2. When a tab is opened via the shell, highlight the window containing the newly created tab.

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Additional context None
