I'd like to add Itsytv to macOS Control Center (similar to how iOS has Apple TV Remote in Control Center). Currently, the only way to add custom controls to Control Center is through Shortcuts, but Itsytv doesn't have a Shortcuts action. The standard "Open App" shortcut doesn't work because Itsytv is already running as a menu bar app, and clicking it does nothing. The only workaround is using AppleScript to simulate clicking the menu bar icon or triggering the hotkey. A native Shortcuts action to "Open ItsyTV Remote" would enable quick mouse access via Control Center without hunting for the menu bar icon. This would match the iOS Control Center workflow many users are already familiar with. Please add a Shortcuts action for this.
