Research direction
Investigate how to add a 'Open in Cutter' entry to the operating system's file context menu. Look at existing integration code in the Cutter repository (e.g., src/ or plugins/) and check if there are any platform specific modules. Review the 5 comments on the issue for additional requirements or suggestions. Consider implementing using Qt's QFileSystemModel or platform native methods (Windows registry, Linux .desktop files, macOS Services). Test the integration on major platforms.
