Description
Issue Type: Bug
When doing remote container development on a remote docker host, the project that is listed in "Recent" on the startup page and Windows jump list is truncated in a weird way.
Instead of something nice like <foldername> [SSH: <hostname>] when doing remote SSH, it ends up showing up as <user>@<address>]. The odd-looking truncation I refer to is the ending square bracket and the lack of any other information.
When hovering, the tooltip shows an enourmous string of information, which is perfect. It is something like <foldername> [Container <imageid> (<imagename>) @ ssh://<user>@<address>]. So I understand where the truncated value is coming from as its simply the end port of that.
Is there some other matching pattern that would be more informative? A suggestion which is simliar to SSH is <foldername> [<imagename>: <hostname>]
This is purely a visual issue and does not impact any functionality from what I've seen.
I do not know if it occurs when using a local docker host like Docker for Windows.

Research direction
The payload names no source file, entry point, or test. Start by locating the Recent-item formatting used by the Remote Containers extension and reproduce the remote Docker-host case; done means the Recent link and Windows jump-list label show a concise folder, image, and host form without changing the full tooltip.
