No, there is no command like that.

Further context:

There is currently no way for Chocolatey to know how to invoke software or applications from a package. There is no property stored within packages to define this, nor is there a command available to do so. Chocolatey is a package manager, and a package is not actually just software.

Chocolatey packages don't actually even need to contain any sort of application.

The way to run software that has been installed (or deployed/dropped) by a package will vary by package, and by any installers contained within.

You can imagine that a CLI application that has simply been unzipped and shimmed (or otherwise added to PATH) will be available on the CLI (e.g. the emacs package results in emacs.exe being available), but you would just run that program - not invoke it via Chocolatey.

Similarly, an installed application will likely end up with shortcuts available (or not, depending on the installer and package logic).

No, there is no command like that.
