Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

I just learned that you can Ctrl+Click a profile to start it as admin. It would be nice if this would be shown somehow, for example by prefixing the profile name with the shield that is shown in the admin terminal corner or similar when Ctrl+Hovering a profile, so that you know exactly what will happen if you click.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the profile UI rendering code in TerminalPage or ProfileViewModel to add a visual indicator (e.g., shield icon) when control hovering over a profile.
