Feature summary
Option to use the launcher more like rofi, providing a custom option list and receiving the option selected by the user.
Motivation / use case
I would love to use the noctalia launcher for everything, but sadly, due to me not being able to use the noctalia launcher as a custom "selector" of options, I still need to use another launcher (which does visually not fit in), to get user selections in my scripts.
Proposed solution
Allow to provide custom options and receive user input, as done by rofi/tofi/dmenu:
printf "%s\n" "my" "list" | noctalia msg panel-open launcher -> user gets to select an option -> result gets returned via e.g. echo:
printf "%s\n" "my" "list" | tofi
list
Alternatives considered
It is possible to just use another launcher, but it will not fit in visually.
