Where can I find documentation on Application.launch() in JXA?
Application('Safari').launch();
It seems Application.launch(), unlike Application.activate(), only starts the application process without actually open or activate an application window.
I searched the Internet and find no documentation on this function.

The launch command:
Launches an application, if it is not already running, but does not send it a run command.
If an application is already running, sending it a launch command has no effect. That allows you to open an application without performing its usual startup procedures, such as opening a new window or, in the case of a script application, running its script. For example, you can use the launch command when you don’t want an application to open and close visibly.

Note that while the above documentation is for AppleScript, it mostly applies to JXA, too.
