Description of the new feature/enhancement

I have been playing around with Jetbrains Rider, and when i start a console app with that IDE, it runs the console window inside a docked window in the IDE.

So what i was thinking. How cool would it be, if Windows Terminal allows external applications to start a new Console window in the currently running Windows Terminal instance.

That way whether its VisualStudio or Rider, those IDE's can be configured to start a new Console window inside the Windows Terminal instance.

The way i see this working is: I press F5/ctrl-F5 in visual studio, and instead of opening a new cmd console window, a new tab appears in my running Windows Terminal instance.
