Better way to open Warp from finder:
I always didn't like how slightly annoying it was to open Warp from finder, other solutions like OpenTerminal just seemed so much easier from Mac Terminal or iTerm2. A easier way such as a basic button in the finder toolbar would make things just that bit better and improve developers workflow.

Additional context
I managed to find a very easy work around and I posted this for anyone else that has the same issue as me.
Create new automator app and add 2 things, Run AppleScript and Run Shell Script.
Run AppleScript:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
set f to (get target of front window)
return f as alias
end tell
end run
Run Shell Script:
open -a Warp.app "$1"
Link together like this:
To add to finder toolbar
Drag the exported app and then hold cmd and move onto the toolbar

Research direction
Start by reviewing the AppleScript and shell-script workaround included in the issue, then identify how Warp could integrate with Finder's toolbar on macOS. Done means providing a supported Finder action that opens Warp for the current Finder location, rather than requiring a custom Automator app.
