Hello,

Yes, Shotwell does have something like this.  You need to put the path to
the camera device on the command-line in URI format, much like what you're
describing.  There's no additional arguments; Shotwell will detect if it's a
URI and map it into the device.

If you look at the shotwell.desktop file (shotwell.desktop.head in the tar
ball), you'll see how it's described there:

shotwell %U

Where %U is the file path in URL format.
