Description
Please move 'Open in...' gesture back to the main panel
The 'Open in...' button was recently moved from the main panel to the side panel, and seemingly only available in the 'Files' tab. This is one of the gestures I reach for most and now it's buried.
It was previously a split button with the most recent app as a button and other apps available in the dropdown, so this is also an extra click.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the /chat path on Windows 10, checking both the main panel and the Files side panel. The change is done when “Open in...” is available from the main panel again, restores the recent-app split-button behavior, and does not require the extra navigation step.
