Opening Files from the Terminal

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want Files to mirror the Windows File Explorer when opening from the command line. So when I use the default Windows file explorer, I like to use the explorer on the command line. This is a big part of my workflow when I want to open the file explorer.

Describe the solution you’d like Typing files in the terminal opens up Files. When I add a directory as an argument it opens the directory instead of the default tab like this files <dir_name>.
Extra Functionality - Multiple arguments like files <dir_1> <dir_2> <dir_3> opens up each directory in a different tab.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered I tried mirroring this functionality by adding the Files executable to the path. Now Files opens up whenever I do files in the command line. But when I try opening a specific directory with files . or files <dir_name> it still opens up the default tab.

Ah my bad, I need to type in the absolute path instead of the relative one. It would be nice if we didn’t have to type in -Directory and if we could use relative paths. Thanks anyways. Also, are there more commandline options? If so, where can I find them?
