[FEATURE REQUEST] - Steam launch arg to prompt for profile on game start #1899

What problem does the feature request solve?
Say I want to play modded Valheim. Currently, the only options are:

  1. Load up r2modman, select Valheim, select my platform, select my profile, and then finally launch modded. A bit tedious.
  2. Tell Valheim to always start modded with a predetermined profile using a Steam launch arg. Effective, but only targets one case.

What if I want to use a different profile? I either have to change the Steam launch arg, or go through process 1 again.
Promping on start would simply just make it much easier to choose a profile upon launch, requiring only one click.

Example mock-up (optional)

Excuse my art skills lol. My idea was just a very similar menu to the normal profile selection menu but with some additional details like last played or mod count, and without the management options.

Additional information (optional)
I think this could be implemented with a Steam launch arg. When said arg is added to a game, it will prompt for this menu, and after the user confirms their profile, it hides away and performs the rest of what's needed to launch the game.

I tried to find something similar in the issues, but I didn't so I'm not sure if this is something that was already rejected.
