Start PSE with specific Catalog

When I right click the desktop icon, I see this next to "target"....

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2018\WelcomeScreen\Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018.0.exe"

Is there a way to create two desktop icon's, then add "Automobiles" or "Motorcycles", or the catalog file location, etc., to the command above, and open that specfic catalog?

Right now, it's defaults to the last catalog used.

Currently, to change catalogs, I need to click File, Manage Catalogs, select the Catalog I'd want to use then click open.

Two separate desktop icons would make this so much easier...

You can create a desktop shortcut to the catalog.pse16db file that is found in each catalog folder.  Double-click on the shortcut (named appropriately) and the organizer will launch and open that catalog.
