Launch KNIME and provide a filename via command line to be opened in a new workflow

KNIME Analytics Platform

Dear KNIME users,

my question is whether there is the posibility to launch KNIME and pass a specific file as command line argument that then will result in a new workflow window with the appropiate file reader node already added?

For example: ./knime -open foo.sdf would launch KNIME, create a new KNIME workflow and add the SD reader node with the foo.sdf already loaded.

I am aware of the KNIME batch mode to run existing workflows and that one can use workflow parameters to provide the file to be loaded. But my question goes more towards the direction of loading KNIME and having a dataset ready for interactive analysis.

Thanks
Fabian
