Idea: shell command that allows you to jump to another terminal's directory

Let's say I have an alacritty instance in ~/documents and one in ~/bin, and I start up a brand new instance that starts in ~/ as usual. It might be neat to have a command that prompts me to quickly choose either of those working directories and just jump to it, without having to double check where my other terminals are or type out a long cd command.

Currently I have the alacpy alias, which only works for alacritty, and requires that you remember to spawn the new terminal in the current terminal before starting a long-running command.

Really, I should just learn tmux instead. But whatever.

Closing. It's not feasible to spy on where your terminal emulators are. Just use a terminal multiplexer like tmux or GNU screen.
