Description of the new feature/enhancement

We could have a button or shortcut for opening a new window as admin since some tasks can only be done with authorization. Sometimes we need to change the terminal only for that specific task like installing things with choco (try "choco install gh").

Thanks for the suggestion! This is gonna be covered by some combination #1032, #5000, #632, which is being worked on at the moment (see #7240).

/dup #632
