Do chained Pants goals have any concept of the "terminal" command?

It's the cause of the "filename completion only happens with

pants foo bar baz ...
runs each of those goals sequentially AFAICR

Yeah, as far as I know - just wish there was a seamless way to use the file system
It’s not “bad” but definitely not a great experience
