Description

### The feature request

Add option to open all changes files in editor. Something like an option menu when right clicking the "X changes files" text.

### Proposed solution

I think this could be a beneficial feature to quickly open up all changed files (and having Desktop open on another monitor or something) to see the full context of how the files were changed.

### Additional context

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the changed-files UI and its right-click context menu, then trace how the app opens files in the configured editor. Done means an option opens every changed file and behaves correctly when selected.
