Prevent Typer from interpreting list of parameters as options when starting with "--"

[offerrall]

I have a function that accepts a parameter and a list of parameters, however sometimes the list of parameters includes arguments that start with "--" which causes Typer to interpret them as options. Here's the code for reference:

@app.command("new")
def new(alias: str, command: list[str]):
    '''Create a new alias, EX: pyAlias new ls dir /b'''
    command = " ".join(command)
    create_alias(alias, command, config)
    print(f"Alias created: {alias} -> {command}")

Is there a way to prevent Typer from checking these parameters as options and instead treat them as part of the list of parameters? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a similar problem with negative numbers that are args being interpreted as option

In the relevant Click issue 1624, see comment 656903382 which points to: https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/7.x/arguments/?highlight=ignore_unknown_options#option-like-arguments. Not sure yet how to plug and play this in Typer.
