Description of the new feature/enhancement

Very often one needs an elevated terminal instance. I recently (relearned) about CTRL+SHIFT for launching items from the taskbar or the start menu, which is awesome, but not very discoverable.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I'd love to have an "Open Elevated" as a task item in the jump list menu of the terminal:

You can already right click for it the same way you open the jumplist. But from Explorer, you are unable to do this. The list of profiles doesn't show up either. However the request for profiles in the Explorer context menu already has existing issue (forget issue#).
