The shell does not pass the command you gave it to the applications it launches as a result. (Not at all in unix, and only partially in Windows.)

• Note that one command can launch multiple applications.
• Note that there might not even be a shell involved, in which case there wouldn't even be a shell command.
• Note that all shells don't use the same syntax for their commands.

Clearly, you're barking up the wrong tree. What problem are you actually trying to solve?
