don't appear in macOS recents views

New features request. Not an existing issue or bug.
Milestone
Steps to reproduce
touch ~/Desktop/test.txt
:e ~/Desktop/test.txt
Expected behaviour
macOS shows recently opened files in a number of places, e.g. in Apple menu > Recent Items, in the right-click menu on the dock icon, and at the bottom of the App Expose / "Show all windows" view.
Files opened in macvim through other means (I've tested opening from Finder, opening from ⌘O in macvim, and opening with
vim -g $file
on the command line) adds the files to this recents list. I would expect files opened the vimmy way with:e
to also be included. It adds an extra cognitive step to know I had a file open in macvim recently, but to have to remember how I opened it to know the fastest way of getting back to it. (Not sure if this qualifies as a bug per se or just a non-feature, but either way I'd love it taken care of)Version of Vim and architecture
