Description
VSC has this support since version 1.50:
https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_49#_contributable-context-menu-for-variables-view
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/28025#issuecomment-722687806
But does the extension support it?( It doesn't work out of the box for me.)

Research direction
The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by reproducing the variable-view behavior and reading the linked VS Code 1.49 documentation and issue discussion; compare the extension's current debugger integration with that support. Done means establishing whether hex/bin viewing is supported and, if not, defining and validating the required behavior.
