Multiple Desktops/Spaces: Assign specific application windows to a specific Space programmatically?

Question

I would like to assign a window of a specific app, say Firefox, to, for e.g., space number 2 on my Mac running Catalina.

Is there a way to achieve this programmatically, using bash or AppleScript?

For e.g., the script algorithm could be:

Access the space identifier (if it exists) and store it somewhere
Access the application window identifier and store it somewhere
If a space is logically a collection (array) of app windows, assign the app window to the correct array related to that space.

Can you please add links to the questions you‘ve already looked at, and list the things you‘ve tried? — nohillside

Is there a particular need to script this? It's a 2 second job to assign an app to a space. It's not possible to assign a single window to a space, except temporarily - which takes the same 2 seconds. — Tetsujin

@Tetsujin, I would like to assign specific spaces to contexts, like a space for coding, a space for video editing, and so on. Each space should contain app windows relevant to that context. Also, I have already clarified in the question that I'm not looking to assign an app to a specific space but an app window. — WinkyCharlie

I'd have a look at what's on offer if you search "mac window manager". I'm pretty sure you have to dig in at code-level, you can't do it with Applescript. Apple forgot all about Spaces when they introduced fullscreen & it has languished unfinished ever since, I'm afraid. — Tetsujin
