I have an app that uses AppKit and SwiftUI. The app settings are made with SwiftUI

On macOS 13 you could use the following to open SwiftUI settings: NSApp.sendAction(Selector(("showSettingsWindow:")), to: nil, from: nil)

On macOS 14 Sonoma the above does not work anymore, instead you have to use a SwiftUI View called SettingsLink.

Now the problem is, my app needs to open Settings from a part of the app that uses AppKit. My app does not show or use its menubar, so Settings are not accessible from there, so I provide access from a NSMenuItem.

How can I programmatically open SwiftUI Settings from AppKit?

Need this as well. All these new APIs are too limited to get any real work accomplished.
