Tiling Shell - shortcut to load layout with specified apps?

Previously I had been using the Tiling Assistant Gnome Extension which had a nice feature where I could load specific apps into the zones in a layout with a shortcut key press, which I used all the time.

It worked something like:

  • Move cursor to screen I want to open layout on
  • Hit defined hotkey to open layouts menu
  • Choose the layout that included which app should be loaded into the available zones. The apps to load are defined as part of the layout.
  • Apps launch or move (if already open) to the defined zone

With the Zorin Tiling Shell in Z18, is there a way of achieving similar functionality?

I could of course switch back to the previous Tiling Assistant but I'd like to stick with the OS provided extension if possible, as I do prefer how that functions in general. It's just this feature that I'm missing.
