Research direction
Start by reproducing the File Explorer context menu with the “Open in Visual Studio Code” extension, then compare it with the default solution explorer context menu. Done means files and folders in File Explorer expose relevant items contributed by other extensions, including the example command and built-in comparison functionality.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Other extensions add new items to the context menu for files and folders in solution explorer. Those are missing inside of the File Explorer node.
For example, I tried to open a folder that is not included in the solution in Visual Studio Code. Usually I would do this using the "Open in Visual Studio Code" extension by Mads Kristensen. Sadly, this menu item is missing in the context menu in File Explorer.
I don't know if this has to be solved in this extension or in the ones adding the menu items. Hopefully, it is solved here once and for all, because I don't think every extension author would go to that length and add the menu items here as well.
Perhaps, the default context menu for files and folders in the solution explorer can be utilized here as well. This would solve my issue and provide access to further built-in functionality like the new comparison feature in VS.
