applescript - Is there a way to programmatically open VSCode and then open the built-in terminal in VSCode on Mac?

I am trying to automate the process of opening VSCode and then opening its built-in terminal. I know I can open VSCode easily, but I don't know how I can communicate with VSCode once it is opened. Is there some sort of way to connect to it? I could even somehow mimic typing the keyboard shortcut to open the terminal (control + backtick).

Thanks!
