Ok, well in that case, no - you can't launch a Designer with curl.
You can put designer://localhost:8088 into a browser, which is paying attention to custom URL protocol handlers registered with your system.
But curl doesn't care.

On a linux system you might run something like xdg-open designer://localhost:8088 and it might open a browser to that URL, or use the registered URL handler to try to open a Designer (Launcher?).

I recently renamed all of my connections into a standard format: DEV/PROD_CUSTOMER_HOSTNAME_SOMEOTHERSTUFF
and then sorted via python, and it's actually not so bad to use in list mode now
