Synapse Linked Games should support Microsoft Store app aliases and package identity

Hi Razer Support,

I found a limitation in Razer Synapse Linked Games / automatic profile switching.

I can link Windows Terminal by selecting the real executable:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.24.11321.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsTerminal.exe

This works for profile detection.

However, this path is version-specific and may change whenever Windows Terminal is updated through the Microsoft Store.

The stable executable alias is:

C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe

But this file is a 0-byte App Execution Alias / reparse point, not the real process image. Synapse cannot use it properly as a linked game/program target.

It would be very useful if Synapse could link profiles to Microsoft Store apps by package identity, AppUserModelID, or App Execution Alias instead of only a versioned physical executable path.

Example stable identity:
Microsoft.WindowsTerminal
Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe
wt.exe

Current issue:
The profile works when linked to WindowsTerminal.exe, but the path may break after app updates.

Best regards,
