Have you looked at the help for calibre?

From https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gen...n/calibre.html I see
Quote:
calibre
calibre [options] [path_to_ebook]
Launch the main calibre Graphical User Interface and optionally add the e-book at path_to_ebook to the database.

Whenever you pass arguments to calibre that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: “/some path/with spaces”

[options]
--detach
Detach from the controlling terminal, if any (Linux only)

--help, -h
show this help message and exit

--ignore-plugins
Ignore custom plugins, useful if you installed a plugin that is preventing calibre from starting

--no-update-check
Do not check for updates

--shutdown-running-calibre, -s
Cause a running calibre instance, if any, to be shutdown. Note that if there are running jobs, they will be silently aborted, so use with care.

--start-in-tray
Start minimized to system tray.

--verbose, -v
Ignored, do not use. Present only for legacy reasons

--version
show program's version number and exit

--with-library
Use the library located at the specified path.
As a WAG I would create a shortcut that included the --with-library switch and the required path.
