[FR] Opening app at specific track/playlist through API #115

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. N/A

Describe the solution you'd like I am unsure whether this is possible or not yet using the API. API (as in, typing localhost:13091 and messing around with /track) seems capable of pulling data but no idea about POST requests. I would like to be able to, for instance, run a script that sends a ytmusic link for, ie, a playlist to the app's API for the app to then initiate playback for that playlist.

Describe alternatives you've considered The app could try to become the default app for ytmusic links instead

Additional context I got gifted an Elgato stream deck recently and there are multiple existing plugins to control Spotify, including launching predetermined playlists. This is enabled by spotify's robust API. This app seems well positioned to emulate this, which could enable things like stream deck launching of playlists for instance.
