Add "Items" view to Shell Extension menu

Add a command "Items" to the shell extension menu (in Windows File Explorer). This command should open the Plastic Items view, drilled-down to the current directory.

But.. the whole point of the shell extension is for people no to use the GUI, and hence deal with the real Explorer instead of the item view… what is the point of adding this?? :’(

    Well, as long as the shell extension context menu does not contain all the commands from the Items view (xlinks etc), there is definitely a need to quickly switch to the GUI. Also, the Items view has columns of information that is not available in the shell Explorer.

    Besides, I don't think the point of the shell extension is to completely replace the GUI - rather it is to complement it and provide convenient shortcuts, also providing links between File Explorer and Plastic GUI. It is a very logical and symmetric thing to do - I'm in this Explorer folder, now I want to see the corresponding Items view - as I can already do the opposite (Items view, Open in Windows Explorer).
