Description
I have my Windows Explorer opened via into my WSL2 directory /home/frank/src/project, so in the address bar it says \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\frank\src\project.
When I right-click and select Open with Code the project is opened on that network share and not directly with the WSL-Remote extension.
Obviously I can use Reopen folder in WSL but VSCode and the plugin should be smart enough to do that directly.
Note that at the moment you need to browse to \\wsl$ shares manually but in Windows 10 build 19603 the WSL integration in the Explorer was improved: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2020/04/08/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-19603/
