Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
Right now, the right click context menu to the API ProjectCommand only passes the project - I'd like for the file/folder being right clicked upon to be added as a parameter as well. Maybe as a separate command type.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Want to write a plugin that operates off of the files underneath a project folder.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
Unaware of any

Research direction

Start by locating the existing ProjectCommand API and its right-click context-menu handling in the binaryninja-api repository. Trace how the project is passed to plugins, then define the command interface so the clicked file or folder is also available; the work is done when a plugin can reliably distinguish the selected path while operating on a project.
