Description

It seems that VS Code is adding new extension points to add context menu commands:

https://github.com/alexandrudima/vscode-copy-relative-path/blob/master/package.json#L24

It would be cool to allow $psEditor extensions to add new commands there as well.

Research direction

Start with the linked VS Code package.json example to understand the context-menu command extension point, then locate the $psEditor extension API and its command-registration entry points in the repository. Done means PowerShell Editor Services extensions can add context-menu commands through $psEditor, with behavior and integration verified by the relevant tests.
