Currently you have to login to the VMware Infrastructure Web Access GUI, select the VM, and then open the console.

Is it possible to open a console with one click or one command?

There is one interesting trick you can use if you just want to see the console. If you have vmware player installed you can run a command like this. Vmware player will attach to the console. If you have a specific server that you frequently access build a shortcut/alias/script.

vmplayer -h vmwareserver.example.tld -u "username"
