How to open the Windows Terminal Preview in File Explorer with normal version also installed

Question

This is the same as this one, but I want to open the Preview version when I have both Preview and the normal version installed.
What I'm looking for is a shortcut like wtp, or wt --preview, something that differentiates it from the normal version.

Find Windows Terminal Preview in search.
Create shortcut and rename to wtp.
Put shortcut in PATH.

It's gonna be wtp.lnk though :/ And it's going to open in c/Windows/system32 despite giving wtp.lnk -d . a go.
This microsoft blog suggests to use this tutorial to remove the normal version's alias and use the preview for wt alias. Not perfect.
