string option, support for strings inside quotes?

Feel a bit silly making a thread out of this as it's a question rather than a support topic

I have read that using

args.pick("string")

args.pick("string")

will match the next singular word, or the phrase contained

"within quotes"

"within quotes"

.

I gather that

options

options

and

flags

flags

are generally used for numerical or bool like inputs, but when reading the value of a flag, it does not behave the same way.
ie

^test "Hello World" --flag="This is a test"

const input = await args.pick("string"); //Hello World
const flag = args.getOption("flag"); //"This

const input = await args.pick("string"); //Hello World
const flag = args.getOption("flag"); //"This

Is there any support for phrases at a flag level?
