QEMU, start the graphical client in serial (not no-graphic)

I am trying to find the option that will simply starts QEMU with the graphical frontend, but select by default “view>serial” instead of “view>vga”. I couldn’t find the right setting on the manual.

All my search and chatbot attempts fall into content where the goal is to use -nographic, or redirect the serial to the stdout, etc. Which is not what I would like.

Alternatively, a way to start the graphic window with “[x] show tabs”? I just want to easily remember to change/be in serial mode from the start.
