Problem description

I'm running games from Heroic via Steam ("add to Steam" option within Heroic itself). I'm using Steam's Big Picture mode. What bugs me is that when I launch the game, Heroic Launcher's UI starts first, and it makes it more fiddly to then exit the game once I'm done playing.

Feature description

Add a toggle in the settings to make launching games in Heroic via heroic:/ urls skip displaying the Heroic window and jump straight into the game

Alternatively, add support for a &gui=false parameter in the heroic:/ url that will keep that configurable per-url.

Alternatives

I've changed the .desktop file that XDG uses to figure out what command to run when opening a heroic:/ url to alway add the --no-gui flag. But now when launching Heroic from the apps list... well the GUI doesn't show up.
