Description
I'm trying to replicate the functionality that the Android VS extension for Windows has.
Currently I have a combo box that lists custom devices attached to Windows' COM ports, as per this screenshot.
This is fine and works, but I'd like to improve the UX.
So I'd like to update the UX so it works like Android. Namely the Play/Start debugging button allows me to pick from the list of available simulators or attached Android devices.
Is there a Sample or documentation I can refer to, so I can have this Android extension like functionality for our customers?
Originally posted this in the samples repo (https://github.com/microsoft/VSSDK-Extensibility-Samples/issues/250), but didn't get a response.

Research direction
No project files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start with the Visual Studio extensibility samples and documentation, including the referenced VSSDK-Extensibility-Samples issue, to determine whether the Play/Start command supports device selection. Done would be a documented or demonstrated approach for presenting attached devices or simulators through that command.
