Generally the use case is always maximize this window or always put it on a particular workspace etc. If it has any path to being addressable via bash you would check its dbus interface if any. The same feature on say i3wm also isn’t a CLI nor is it any more dynamic. Windows rules and wmctrl don’t have identical use cases although there could be overlap
