@danyrd, here's one way to do it. You can create a shortcut for an app with these steps then execute that shortcut with start c:\shortcuts\shortcut.lnk:
- Hold the Windows key and press R, type in shell:AppsFolder, and click OK.

- Right-click the app and click Create shortcut

- Click Yes to "Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?"
- Cut/paste and rename the shortcut to a path like c:\shortcuts\hyperx.lnk
- Create a TRIGGERcmd command that runs: start c:\shortcuts\hyperx.lnk
EDIT: If you have the shortcut on your Desktop you can run it like this.
"%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Onedrive\desktop\Unreal Engine.lnk"Sometimes your desktop isn't in your Onedrive folder, so it's like this instead:
"%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\desktop\Unreal Engine.lnk"
- Hold the Windows key and press R, type in shell:AppsFolder, and click OK.
