I'm hoping you can guide me and how to implement this use case.
My goal is to make note taking effortless.. The way I Envision solving this problem is pressing a key on the keyboard, that key sequence brings up an application (dictanote or nimbus in chrome) be able to hit a button on the keyboard and have it invoke dictanote or Chrome with a specific URL
Some additional important behaviors is that when I hit the magic key it brings the application window to the top of the window stack. If the application is not running, it starts it on a specific page and if it is running, it makes the windows associated with the application visible. It would be really bad for product multiple copies of the same application.
For Dictanote, please follow instructions here https://dictanote.co/download/ to add Dictanote as a desktop app
Then it will always be there is the dock. You can access it anytime.
I'm sorry. I didn't ask the right question and give you enough detail so here is the bigger picture.
My hands don't work well enough to use a mouse. I use speech recognition as much as possible to minimize the pain in my hands from using a keyboard.
The OS running dictanote is Ubuntu 22.04 + chrome
I have successfully installed Dictanote as an app and it is accessible by the application dock.
What command line do I need in order to invoke dictanote on specific note page? Another option that would work for me would be invoking a single instance of Chrome with a specific URL.

I see. I don't have a solution for you at the moment.
Dictanote (and Voice In) work within the browser. They can't control tabs / opening the app.
On Mac, if Dictanote is already open and I ask Spotlight to open Dictanote, it opens the existing application open. Doesn't create duplicates.
