Open specific vault from Windows taskbar/startmenu icon

Use case or problem

On Windows. Opening Obsidian by the icon always opens the last vault.
There is a workaround to pin specific vaults to the taskbar (See “Pin vaults in Windows taskbar”), but it is clunky and very manual. It also ends up with multiple icons on the taskbar.

Proposed solution

I would like to see the same behaviour other applications (f.e. word) has on the taskbar.
Right-clicking the icon gives a list of recently opened files from which one can directly select what to load when opening.

Seems a duplicate of one of these (they should probably be merged into one request, but waiting on confirmation):

Windows Taskbar Recent List of Vaults

I like that Typora and many other document-oriented apps show a list of recent files on windows when you right-click the icon in the taskbar. That makes it really easy to browse and open projects without having to open the app and use its main interface to find the project and open it. Here’s an example.

Windows: Pinning vaults to Taskbar

I have a good idea for Windows. I have several vaults and occasionally open them all regularly, but I want to avoid merging them because they are area different. How about opening them directly by right-clicking (for right-handed people) in the taskbar, like Firefox does?

I agree. Sorry I hadn’t seen that suggestion when looking. The top one is a 100% match.
