It depends if your app is configured (via .desktop file) to be running as single instance or not; and that is related to the launcher (which is enforced on SFOS btw); see "How can I disable single-instance launching?" under <https://harbour.jolla.com/faq#4.5.0>https://harbour.jolla.com/faq).
If the application is already open, lipstick will just raise the previously opened window. It is a good question about what the app does with the arguments...
