I think you should be able to make your own profile with something like:

"commandline": "runas /user:administrator powershell"

Or alternatively, open Windows terminal as an administrator and you are good to go.

But lets say you open the windows terminal in the current directory by typing wt -d . in the address bar . It opens the terminal in non-elevated mode and there is no option to enter elevated mode in the current directory that i know of. Is there a way to do that? If not, can we add this feature?

I agree, it would be great to have Windows Terminal integration in Windows Explorer's "File" menu in the same way as we have Windows Powershell now:

So here we need an option "File"->"Open Windows Terminal"->"Open Windows Terminal as administrator".
