There's another issue on the tracker that's pretty much the same thing.

Optional program to run in a given zone
I've set up several FancyZone custom layouts, always with the goal of running the same set of programs in the various zones. It would be awesome if each zone could have an optional executable command, such that a specific program would start when that custom setup is selected. For example, I have a setup where Python IDLE is in one zone, another zone is reserved for the Python Shell, another zone is for EditPlus, another is for a browser window, and so on. When editing the zones, a field for each zone could allow entry of a program to run, such as a path to a specific executable. Or, if there are unforeseen technical obstacles, how about just a small text field that shows up as a label in the zone when it opens. This label can remind the user what that zone is intended for, just as an optional note or reminder. This reminder would appear and disappear as windows are shift-dragged, at the same time as the zone outlines appear, similar to the zone numbers that appear now, but probably smaller and along the top inside edge of the zone.
