Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I sometimes can have the same program stacked multiple times with different titles. It would be nice to have the option to use the window title to differentiate the windows on the stackbar.

Describe the solution you'd like
The komorebi.json setting for the stackbar can have optional properties to set which value to use from the window as the title or as a tooltip of the tab on mouse hover.

  "stackbar": {
    "height": 40,
    "mode": "OnStack",
    "tabs": {
      "title": "WindowExe | WindowTitle",
      "tooltip": "WindowExe | WindowTitle",
      "width": 300,
      "focused_text": "#bfaa69",
      "unfocused_text": "#f2bdf3",
      "background": "#121826"
    }
  },

komorebic state

{
  "hwnd": 132316,
  "title": "Teams and Channels | General | Microsoft Teams",
  "exe": "ms-teams.exe",
  "class": "TeamsWebView",
  "rect": {
	"left": 3857,
	"top": 107,
	"right": 3806,
	"bottom": 1964
  }
},
{
  "hwnd": 198794,
  "title": "komorebi - Microsoft Visual Studio",
  "exe": "devenv.exe",
  "class": "HwndWrapper[DefaultDomain;;d6598a44-aa98-4635-962c-a223add23116]",
  "rect": {
	"left": 3857,
	"top": 107,
	"right": 3806,
	"bottom": 1964
  }
},
{
  "hwnd": 67862,
  "title": "zebar - Microsoft Visual Studio",
  "exe": "devenv.exe",
  "class": "HwndWrapper[DefaultDomain;;512823ca-20af-46de-9a59-89d338d3cea5]",
  "rect": {
	"left": 3857,
	"top": 107,
	"right": 3806,
	"bottom": 1964
  }
}

Additional context
It can prove to be complicated if the window title is being used in the setting, as that can change often. It could perhaps be easier and less demanding to load the title of the window only when hovering over the tabs (and only have the tooltip option in the settings).
