Description
Currently triggering checkout in worktree opens system UI which require additional navigation (would be easier after #8711).
However, when I use Git: Create Worktree... - it shows custom UI that is easier to manage than native OS window on Windows after selection branch (or entering new branch name).
Would be nice to have this UI instead of system one and this will also unify behavior between native and extension workflows.
