Description of the new feature/enhancement

I'd really like it if there was some sort of "Open folder in terminal" button in the right click menu

Something like the "Open with Code" button, just opens that folder in powershell within the new Terminal. I know quite a few linux desktops and OSX have this, and I find it quite convenient on those platforms.

If possible, maybe there could be a configuration option on whether to open the terminal in a tab of powershell/cmd/WSL2 from the button in the context menu for extra customizability.
