How to get lstdefinestyle to accept a custom command with an argument?

Question

I want to customize the style of Matlab-editor in matlab-prettifier package. What I want is to produce background for MATLAB styled commands, but it does not seem that basicstyle key accepts commands with arguments

It is possible to get this by creating custom commands such as in

Different background colors for lstinline

However, I would rather use \lstinline command directly because I want TeXstudio to highlight verbatim code. This topic seems to contain what I want, but I need to adapt it for my specific needs

listings lstdefinestyle not work with custom defined command

This is the result I want

    % style
    style=Matlab-editor, % default style for matlab pretification
    basicstyle=\linespread{0.8}\mlttfamily\color{DodgerBlue3}, % font style and size
}

% END_FOLD

\usepackage{tikz}

    \end{tikzpicture}%

    \smash{\rlap{\rule{\linewidth}{0.1pt}}}%
    \matlabinline{\lstinline[style=matlab-inline]|plot(X1, Y1, LineSpec1)|} \lstinline[style=matlab-inline]|plot(X1, Y1, LineSpec1)|
    
\end{frame}

As far as I can see there's no way to solve this without patching lstinline. It isn't really recommended to patch it, for your specific problem I think the alternative solution (changing syntax highlighting in TeXStudio) works as well -- see Making TeXstudio syntax highlighting recognize a custom verbatim environment , but if you insist there is this way:

%! TEX program = pdflatex

\documentclass[aspectratio=169, xcolor={x11names}, t, handout]{beamer}

\usetheme{Dresden}
\usefonttheme{professionalfonts}
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{ppl}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\renewcommand{\encodingdefault}{T1}

\usepackage{bigstrut}

\usepackage[]{matlab-prettifier}
% BEGIN_FOLD

\lstdefinestyle{matlab-inline}{
    % style
    style=Matlab-editor, % default style for matlab pretification
    basicstyle=\linespread{0.8}\mlttfamily\color{DodgerBlue3}, % font style and size
}

% END_FOLD

\usepackage{tikz}

\NewCommandCopy \oldlstinline \lstinline

\ExplSyntaxOn

\RenewDocumentCommand \lstinline {o v} {
    \begin{tikzpicture}[baseline]
        \node[fill=Ivory1, inner~sep=0mm, outer~sep=0mm,  inner~xsep=0mm, inner~ysep=1pt, opacity=0.75, anchor=base]
            (node) {\bigstrut \oldlstinline[#1]{#2}};
    \end{tikzpicture}
}
\ExplSyntaxOff

\fastrecompileendpreamble
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[fragile, environment=frame, allowframebreaks=0.99]
    
    \smash{\rlap{\vrule width 0.1pt depth 0em height 0.75em}}%
    \smash{\rlap{\rule{\linewidth}{0.1pt}}}%

    \lstinline[style=matlab-inline]|plot(X1, Y1, LineSpec1)|
    
\end{frame}

\end{document}

It redefines lstinline the way described in the code.
