Suggestion: Add an option to launch a game via Playnite, instead of using the play action #22

I think that adding an option to choose between either Play Action or Playnite launch shortcut would be handy since if you run a game via Playnite the play time tracking works, whereas running a game directly doesn't, also Playnite autokills any 3rd party launcher that a game uses, like Ubisoft Connect for example.

Something like: *path_to_playnite*\Playnite.DesktopApp.exe --nolibupdate --hidesplashscreen --start *game's database ID*

In Steam you show up as in-game, and the overlay also works in games where anti-cheat software isn't preventing it from working.
