[SOLVED] Launch gtk-launch <terminal> to land in a different folder

Hello, I have a simple question:

I made a simple script called gtklaunch.sh as:

#!/bin/sh

gtk-launch kitty

and this script file is located in a folder, let's say "/home/user/test".

When I run ./gtklaunch.sh directly on its folder, kitty will be opened in "/home/user/test". If I move to two parent folders back, and I am in "/home" dir and I run "./user/test/gtklaunch", kitty will be opened in "/home" folder.

Is there a way to force gtk-launch to open the terminal that I use (in this case Kitty, but could be every terminal) to a fixed folder (as /home/user) regardless the position I call the script?

Why not just add a 'cd' to the script?
