I am looking for some guidance on implementing the Windows File Activation API with my Flutter App, that is, a user able to open a file associated with my App and have that file path passed to my app instance on startup and during runtime if the user opens a file whilst the app is already started.
I have found the following link from Microsoft that details how to achieve this within a UWP Application. However I have no been able to implement it completely with my limited knowledge of C++.

- It seems that the File Activation API relies on the WinRT API. Is this already bundled with the Flutter runner project or does this need to be imported separately?
- To hook into the File Activation API, I need to create a class that is derived from the Application class, Is it possible to achieve this whilst still having a reference to the Platform Channels provided so that the events can be passed into the Dart code?
- Is it even a valid approach to use the WinRT API's or is there another API I have missed?
