Unfortunately GnuCash doesn't work that way AFAIK. Depending on your OS you may be able to create separate launchers in the Desktop menufor each specific file and name them accordingly. I know this will work on Linux Mint and likely Ubuntu variants but not sure on other OS. The command issued by the launcher is "gnucash %f". If you change the "%f" to a specific path/filename it will open that specific file or at least it did several years ago when I used to work on multiple files. Then you just choose the launcher for the file you want to work on. If you are a terminal user you could create separate aliases for the commands with different filenames.
