Description

Since I have some icons and the most are overlay with the menu of an app it is complicated to find an app icon in the menu bar. Also some apps only open the GUI when I click on the menu item, but when I open the app via Raycast, there is no GUI shown.

I like to have a API to list of apps running and having an menu bar icon. I like to search in Raycast for the icons, and when I selected, then it should hit the menu bar icon so that the GUI opens.

Example Apps with this behaviour:

• Docker
• Mountain Duck
• Elgato Wave Link

and more...

API:

• get all apps which have an icon -> MenuBarApp
• simulate a click on the icon -> MenuBarApp#click

Who will benefit from this feature?

All user which no like to search for a menu bar icon.
I have the workaround with the app "AccessMenuBarApps" but it is still complicated, because sometimes it hides the menu bar on the macbook screen (problem: no icons displayed left from the notch) or on the external screen (good, because icons are visible here). Sometimes the AccessMenuBarApps app is crashing.

I just want a search for the app and then simulate a click on the icon.

Anything else?
