Command URL options

[Daniel Rich]

Are there any other options to the command url other than what is documented at https://iterm2.com/documentation-command-selection.html? 

I'm looking to craft a URL that will open a new iTerm2 window, ssh to a remote host, and give me a shell. I would expect something like iterm2:@myhost.example.com to work, but that just changes the focus to my existing iTerm2 windows and doesn't ssh to the remote host -- with or without the leading "@". Going with iterm2:/command?c=ssh%20myhost.example.com mostly does what I'm looking for, but I have to answer the "new window, new tab, etc" prompt first. Using the "silent" parameter will suppress the query, but doesn't let me specify that it should run in a new window.

Are there a bunch of undocumented options to the item: URL or is this it?

The format is, if you specify everything:

Iterm2://[username]@[hostname]/?c=[command]&d=[directory]&silent

So iterm2://example.com/ will open an SSH connection. There isn’t an option to default to window vs tab. If you want more control, AppleScript is probably the simplest solution.
