Being able to run/save shell commands like superlinks

Superlinks as they exist right now are kind of limiting since they can only take in a URL and they have to open an application to pass the URL to. As a workaround for this, we have been able to use the Apple shortcuts app, thanks to Monarch being able to detect individual shortcuts, but this workflow is bad for UX for some commands like the capture timer command (https://github.com/UnknownCrafts/Regent/tree/main/Screenshot%20Utilities#capture-timer) as it opens up the shortcuts app (this is due to how apple shortcuts handle the request that comes via the URL scheme) and takes away the focus from whatever the user wants to capture on the screen, so far I haven’t been able to iron out this issue by just using superlinks. I would like for the custom shell commands menu to still have things in common with superlinks, basically everything minus the “Match check” and “Open with” sections in superlinks, plus bigger text boxes(in height) so that it can be easier to format the shell commands. These shell commands probably won’t faze out the use of the shortcuts app but will help to provide a way better UX, as the shortcuts app won’t have to open up and steal focus. If you don’t want to clutter the root search any further then maybe superlinks could contain the option to save shell commands, the menu would just strip away two sections (“Open With” and “Match Check”).
