Description of the new feature/enhancement

When I click on Open Windows Terminal Here (Open in Windows Terminal) in the context menu it opens up a new instance of WT with a tab pointing to the current directory. I think this makes the multi-tab feature of WT unused (at least for me). Instead, it can open up a new tab in a running instance of WT (like web browsers).
