Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In Windows 11, the hyper option in the context menu only appears in the old context menu. This means we have to make two clicks in the mouse to get to the Hyper shortcut in the context menu (Right click > Show More Options > Open Hyper here)

Describe the solution you'd like
Would be cool if the Hyper shortcut in Windows 11 appeared in the new context menu (the Windows 11 terminal already shows there).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
Honestly, I don't know how can this be done, if possible at all. Important to note that the only app that I see until now to place their icons in the New Context Menu was the PowerToys. But is important to note, is becked by Microsoft itself, so...

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Hyper's existing Windows context-menu or shortcut registration and checking whether Windows 11's new context menu supports the requested integration; done means “Open Hyper here” appears directly in that menu.
