Opening specific library through shortcut?

Is it possible to create shotcuts that would open a specific library from the start, instead of opening Calibre to whichever library was used last time and then switching to the library I want? And if it is, could multiple libraries be open at the same time through this?

Use the with-library directive - see ==>> https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/gen...n/calibre.html

e.g. I have SendTo shortcuts with Targets set to:

Code:
"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe" --with-library "D:\Calibre\Libraries\Books"
"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe" --with-library "D:\Calibre\Libraries\Media"
"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe" --with-library "D:\Calibre\Libraries\Periodicals"
etc
