THIS APPROACH IS NOT RECOMMENDED!!
You can edit %APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.yml and put the following code to achieve the same result.

import:
  - ~\.config\alacritty\alacritty.yml

Then use the following .reg file to add alacritty to the context menu.

add_alacritty_to_context_menu2.reg add --config-file %USERPROFILE%\.config\alacritty\alacritty.yml parameter for customization

hex code to ASCII:

"D:\Program Files\Scoop\apps\alacritty\current\alacritty.exe" --config-file %USERPROFILE%\.config\alacritty\alacritty.yml --working-directory "%V
