[Suggestion] Using Window Identifiers to determine special windows

[m-ahdal]

I'm using ghostty as my terminal and it supports a mode for a Quick Terminal (Quake-Style Terminal) that needs to be floated within AeroSpace. There's no easy way of specifying this behaviour at the moment. My current suggestion I've proposed is to effectively attach a window identifier and then filter them inside of various other apps (including AeroSpace) for more specific functionality. In the case of ghostty, it would simply float the Quick Terminal window despite belonging to the com.mitchellh.ghostty app id.

Edit: This would also potentially be useful for apps like Arc Browser for #611

Draft PR: #615

Closing since it was fixed on Ghostty side. Thanks for the fix!

@nikitabobko @m-ahdal sorry for the ping but is there a way to make on-window-detected run and move only the normal ghostty windows to a certain workspace.
I've tried a bunch of builtin if combinations from the docs site but it also seems to also move the quick terminal popup. Maybe I'm missing something.

and on another note, this is a common suggestion and not restricted to ghostty right?
this would possibly solve the floating of arc previews and mini arc windows as well, I think Orion browser also introduced link previews recently. So I'm not sure why this was marked as completed. Sorry if I'm missing something correct me if I'm wrong please.
