iPad OS 26 - Stage Manager - Open App Shortcut - Window Location and Size

I recently updated my iPad to iPad OS 26.

I use stage manager and shortcuts top open apps in their stages.

i.e. I could create a shortcut to open a news app and because the last time it was opened in a stage with other apps, that stage would open.

Now with the new multitasking changes an Open App shortcut makes me pick a Window Location and Size for the app I want the shortcut to open.

I know of some setting that do not suit here:

Open app in Split View: I had many stages with 3 apps that I would have sized in a way I liked.

I know I can open the app directly and it will open the stage though the whole point of my shortcuts was to keep the icons off my homescreen(s).

Anyway, hopefully someone knows of a way to get rid of the forced location and size setting and have it literally open the app the way I had it.
