Open a new tab in the same path but in a different terminal

[0xdw]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

When opening new tabs. It would be great if it can have an option where we can add the new tab in the same path but in a different terminal application.

For example,
Assume I have opened a folder in the CMD (with a large path) and I want to open that path in WSL. In that case, I would click the new tab and it opens a new window in a different path.

This can really help when we have to open a new tab in a different terminal where the current opened folder path is difficult to type quickly.

Actual Behaviour when opening a new tab

Expected Behaviour when opening a new tab

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

When we duplicate a tab, is it possible to duplicate it to a different terminal application like below?

This available from command line:

wt -w 0 nt --startingDirectory %cd% -p "<Profile name>"     # cmd
wt -w 0 nt --startingDirectory $pwd -p "<Profile name>"     # powershell, dot instead of $pwd works too ( --startingDirectory  . )
wt -w 0 nt --startingDirectory $(pwd) -p "<Profile name>"   # bash
