Description of the new feature/enhancement

'Open in Terminal' should show all available profiles/shells using flyout. It only opens the default profile set in the Windows Terminal currently, and user has no way to choose between other profiles/shells from the context menu.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

'Open in Terminal'

As shown on the screenshot, adding a secondary flyout like one on the 'New' option to let the user choose which terminal shell they want to open 'here' will give additional flexibility while using the context menu.
A thing to note here is that opening the default terminal from the context menu might take two clicks instead of just one but IMO it's worth it.
