We'll need to come up with a proper design for this.
Opening an elevated "Foo" profile triggering the creation of a elevated window isn't going to hit
startupActionsever. In that case, the "startup actions" has been effectively replaced by a single action - "open a tab with Foo".startupActions.elevatedStartupfor actions to run on startup of an elevated window. These would then be different fromstartupActions.--elevate nt ; spcommand to run specific actions in an elevated window.
