"Open with" is available only for files under the open folder, not under Open Editors

[davisjr]

Type: Bug

"Open with..." menu item is available only when a folder is opened. This makes it impossible to switch editors for individual files opened directly from File Explorer or File -> Open File.

Pre-requisites:

• Install an extension that has a custom editor for some file type. For eg, Excel Viewer for CSV/XLSX files from ttps://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GrapeCity.gc-excelviewer

Repro steps:

• Open a file that has a custom editor installed via File -> Open File. (For eg, a CSV file is you have installed the above extension)
• File opens in the default text editor and I want to open it in the custom editor.
• Right click the file in Explorer under Open Editors to change editors.

Actual: There is no "Open with..." entry in the context menu.

Expected: "Open with..." is available so that I can switch the editor used.

Notes: The "Open with..." menu item shows up if I open the folder instead and right click the file under the folder tree. This works as expected. But this means I can't switch editors if the file was directly opened from File Explorer or File -> Open File
