Create shortcut to open instance or world #489

Is your suggested enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

Having to open modrinth app (or any launcher for that matter), just to launch a specific instance can be annoying sometimes.

Describe the solution you'd like

Like prism launcher, I think it'd be very practical to be able to create a shortcut to a mod profile that launches that specified profile without opening the actual launcher. In my opinion, this would make launching the game much, much more efficient and is just a simple QoL change that makes life easier. The shortcut target would probably be structured similar to prism's like "[directory of modrinth app] --launch [profile name]"

Describe alternatives you've considered

The launcher wouldn't necessarily have to provide a button or such to create the shortcut for you, rather a doc could be provided telling you how to do so. Obviously the button idea would be a better solution in the long run though.
