Windows terminal - Script opening panes and SSHing to servers

Question

I'm currently using Windows Terminal to front WSL 2 Ubuntu. I use it to SSH out to multiple servers. I'm now at a point where I'd need to run similar \ identical tasks across multiple servers, so I'd like to be able to say Open a new pane and SSH to server Foo, Bar and FooBar. I've got the server config stored in .ssh/config and SSH key access sorted.

Is this possible? Using Powershell isn't an option thanks to overly restrictive IT policies and I'm not expecting much from the old CMD.

if you put this on the "actions": block in the windows terminal settings.json, it will add a keybinding that creates a tab with 3 ssh connections (will also create an entry on the command Pallet(ctrl+shift+p) called servers), you will have to type the commands in each one of them for now, but Windows terminal has a feature coming where you will be able to "broadcast" the keystrokes to multiple panes.

{
    "command":
        {
            "action":"wt",
            "commandline":"new-tab wsl ssh 'sv1';split-pane wsl ssh 'sv2';split-pane wsl ssh 'sv3'"
        },


    "keys":"alt+s",
    "name":"servers"
},
