Powertoys: [Feature Request] App Groups — ability to set apps to open with a single click, on specific positions
"App Groups"
Similar to how App Combos on Surface Duo work, here's App Groups.
The user would be able to select which apps should go in which area of the screen. The user would be able to add as many apps and "zones" as they want. And then click "Create" to create an app group.
After that, a shortcut on the desktop will be created. The user would be able to launch those apps, on the marked places by clicking on that icon.
I've posted this idea on Twitter a few days ago and people really liked it. Maybe this functionality could be added to FancyZones? What do you think? :)

This would be a killer feature for productivity. Really, really cool. Thanks @zeealeid !
Having these App Combos in the task-tray or start menu would be nice as well. I literally launch Outlook and Teams every morning side by side to get up to speed with what's happening within my company. To have these as an 'App group' in my taskbar that launches Outlook/Teams side by side would be super helpful:

Yeah, putting those in the taskbar or in the start menu would be helpful. :)
