Description of the new feature/enhancement

I use Git Bash more often which is already relying on the Command Prompt because of its 'Git Bash Here' functionality . By adding this feature of opening New Terminal anywhere with just a right click and the path already navigated in the Terminal, many developers like me would benefit.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Using a shell script to add a registry key which will let us open new Terminal anywhere with Right Click.

Right click anywhere and open a Terminal with path of that folder already navigated to.

I want to work on adding this feature to Windows Terminal.

Device - Lenovo ThinkPad L480(Intel Core i5-8350U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD)
Windows Build - Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.836]
Apps - VSCode, Anaconda, Terminal, Git Bash, Cmd

In fact, this was actually already implemented in #6100 😉
