Open file as Read-Only from the Explorer right click context menu #31759

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Example If possible I would like the option "Open as Read-Only" as an option in the right click menu for all files. files in which this would be usefull would be the following. .dwg, .dwt .ipt .iam .idw .sldprt .sldasm .slddrw .step

Scenario when this would be used?

When you want to open files as read only and for review. This would be very useful with autocad without having to go in though the autocad interface. it would also not interfere with other peoples work as they could open the files and edit them as needed.

This is technically not possible. Every app reads the file differently and we cannot this.
