Hi,

Which Linux distribution are you using ?

In any case, the core principles are described in this Arch wiki page.

You can open a project from a command line with
/path/to/qtcreator /path/to/project/file
or
/path/to/qtcreator sessionname

How to trigger this via a double click on a file name (where actually?) depends on your system / descktop environment setup, not Qt Creator.
