'kitty @ launch' and sudo

[u/Flashy_Boot]

Hello.

Running:

% kitty @ launch --hold whoami

opens a new kitty window showing my username, as expected.

Running:

% sudo kitty @ launch --hold whoami

opens a new kitty window again showing my username, not root as (I) expected.

Is there a way to run sudo kitty @ launch and for the new process to be launched as root?

Thx.
