Enable quick access to text files from individual system tray icons

The ask

Users need a utility that allows them to create multiple, distinct icons in the Windows system tray. Each icon should be configurable to open a specific text file when clicked. The system should launch the designated text file using the operating system's default association or a user-specified text editor path. This tool must avoid presenting a single system tray icon that reveals a menu of files upon clicking. It also should not function as a utility for minimizing windows to the system tray. Configuration for these icons can be managed through a command-line interface, a graphical user interface, or a configuration file. The application must be compatible with Windows 11 and must not require an internet connection to operate.
