Jlab-enhanced-launcher for JupyterLab 4.0 and Open a remote URL

Hi!

We were doing upgrades to 4.0 on our JupyterLab environments, and we had some build issues with the jlab-enhanced-launcher extension. At the same time, we were trying to open an external URL from a launcher icon (e.g. having a launcher icon that will open huggingface spaces KingNish/OpenGPT-4o in a new browser window), but we couldn’t find a suitable JupyterLab Command to do so (https-jupyterlab-readthedocs-io/en/stable/user/commands.html)

So, based on those activities, I have some questions for the forum:

  1. is jlab-enhanced-launcher compatible with JupyterLab 4.0?
  2. is it possible to do a “Open a remote URL” kind of command with jlab-enhanced-launcher? There is an extension trungleduc/jupyter_app_launcher: A JupyterLab extension to create custom launcher entries. (github.com) that support it, but wanted to check if jlab-enhanced-launcher will support that (or, having a command in JupyterLab that opens a new browser window, and call the command from jlab-enhanced-launcher)
