Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not really a big problem but I'm wondering if it'd be possible to have integration with uwsm for the menu/launcher modules
It allows apps to be launched in separate systemd scopes via uwsm app -- command (or a .desktop file instead of a command)

Ironbar is great btw, it's been waaaay easier to configure than waybar/eww 👌

Yes I think this should be easy enough to add - just a new config option like:

launch_command = "gtk-launch {app_id}"

Which would allow you to change it to any arbitrary program such as uwsm.
