Steps to reproduce

The feature in PR #6100 has been merged in v1.1.1671.0. My version is later than it, but when I right click a selected directory, there is no such an entry.
I haved tried to reinstall Windows Terminal in Microsoft Store and reboot my PC. Still no entry.
This is the entries of right click.

@kanadaj just to make sure: what version of terminal do you have installed

@DHowett Latest on the Windows Store (normal, not the preview version). Literally downloaded today.
Edit: That'd be 1.1.2021.0

@petibear It's not on the shift+right click menu, it's on the normal right-click menu, but only when you directly right click on a folder. There are a bunch of open work items tracking the right-click menu, so make sure to check those out.

@kanadaj That's certainly weird. I know that while I was working on developing this, it often wouldn't load until I rebooted explorer.exe, so maybe a restart is needed?

Aaaah I see. That's... Not great.

Though I've found this project https://github.com/lextm/windowsterminal-shell which is a fair bit better since it adds an option for each different console, as well as a separate option to open as administrator.
