Not possible to spawn other instances of myappid
Metadata
Current evaluation
User reports inability to spawn multiple instances of their app from within the app in strict mode; asks why snapcraft doesn't support this feature like flatpak-spawn does.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, no maintainer comments, and no assignee, indicating it hasn't been assessed. The report is vague and lacks reproduction steps, error messages, or specific details about the user's use case, making it unclear whether this is a bug, feature request, or support question.

Issue body
As title.
It's not possible to spawn other instances of the running app within the running app.
I would like to spawn more instances of my app from a button in the UI of my app
This is possible when running on devmode but not when running strict.
Flatpak for example can do it via a simple flatpak-spawn
Why snap craft does not support such a crucial feature?
