missing Features from PasswordSafe

How can I open Application (Win11 / Linux) from 1PW? 
I use many tools which run as local applications on my Laptop

Sure I can open them first and then copy/paste login+password from 1PW, but it would be much easier to open Application directly from 1PW and get login+password fields Autofilled..
So fare 1PW only opens web-based Login with Standard Browser : (  

I miss cool Features from PasswordSafe PWS
eg each Login Entry can be customized in PWS where as 1PW has no big choise. 

- add “[alt]” in front of  URL an  Webpage will open in Alternate http://browser..if/if you click "Browse to URL" 

- double click Action can be preset for each Login Entry individually
eg Browse to URL (default)  or  Browse to URL + AutoType

- Application can be started from PWS too 
 Change "Double Click Action" to  "Run Command" and store Path of Application "C:\Program Files\xyz.exe" in field "Run Cmd".
PWS will start  Application and with  Button "Perform Auto Type" login/pw will be entered in one go. 

That avoids copy/paste

    Hello Edi​! 👋

    Welcome to the 1Password community! Have you tried using auto-type on your Windows PC? It allows you to fill your login credentials into apps and websites without having to open 1Password first:


    The same feature isn't currently available for Linux but you can copy and paste passwords from Quick Access: Get to know Quick Access

    You can also press Alt-Enter from Quick Access to open the website for the login in your browser and fill your username and password: 1Password keyboard shortcuts

    add “[alt]” in front of  URL an  Webpage will open in Alternate http://browser..if/if you click "Browse to URL"

    double click Action can be preset for each Login Entry individually
    eg Browse to URL (default)  or  Browse to URL + AutoType

    Application can be started from PWS too 
     Change "Double Click Action" to  "Run Command" and store Path of Application "C:\Program Files\xyz.exe" in field "Run Cmd".
    PWS will start  Application and with  Button "Perform Auto Type" login/pw will be entered in one go. 

    Thank you for the feedback on the types of features that you'd like to see in 1Password in the future. While I can't make any promises, I've filed a feature request on your behalf.
