Description

It would be handy in the project context menu to say 'link to existing checkout'. This is to deal with cases where I e.g. have copied the project from one machine to another using a USB key, or if I have downloaded the project using the web ui and placed it on my disk.

Research direction

Start from the QGIS project context menu shown in the issue and trace how existing projects are opened or registered. Reproduce the case where a project folder was copied or downloaded outside the plugin, then define completion as a menu action that links that folder as an existing checkout and works for both described scenarios.
