Preflight Checklist

I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

I can't open youtube music links directly into the desktop app. I think it would be great to be able to open them, at least with some CLI option, or (in my case, Im using archlinux) creating a compatible URL to be interpreted by xdg-open.

Proposed Solution

It could be created some CLI support, or maybe a plugin to interact with in order to be able to open music links directly to desktop app as other desktop music apps do (for example Spotify app).

Alternatives Considered

It could be created an endpoint opened to interact maybe with dbus to open the link passed directly into the desktop app.
