Hello sir, I like your extension. However, can you add a toolbar button? I would like a toolbar button due to easier interaction with the extension. Open in Sidebar context menu items could also have a separate option to disable which would be added after the actual button would be implemented, because I have concern about context menus cluttering. Thank you for any response in advance, sir.
