@Kishore-TPF I am afraid we cannot get the content of the running applications so I don't see a way to satisfy your request. It would mean that any 3rd party app could extract info from other apps.
What you can do is a little workaround. After creating a workspace, in the editor you can specify CLI args. For browsers like Chrome there are a lot of switches where you can open multiple tabs with specific content. For command promt as well. I know it takes a little time, but you have to do it only once. Sorry, I think it is the only way to achive your goal.
If you agree you can close the issue.

Thanks
