Add Crop & Lock to PowerToys Quick Launch Menu

[Cmdr-Keene]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Simple request, I would like for Crop & Lock to be available on the PowerToys quick menu so it can be invoked by mouse instead of only keyboard shortcut (many other similar tools like text extractor are already here)

Scenario when this would be used?

Sometimes I'm in a situation where mouse would be more convenient, in particular when I'm using touch or when remote machines and keyboard shortcuts may or may not be forwarded.

Supporting information

It'd be nice if every feature you can launch

There are two modes for Crop & Lock, any ideas on how to implement a mode selection functionality?
Also, I believe Crop & Lock activates on the current focus window. Will it be able to recognize the correct window when launching from the quick launch menu?

I think the default option (especially when you are using touch or remote login) should be to reparent - since it helps to minimize the amount of space the window occupies. The option to set the default mode for mouse (reparent or thumbnail mode could be driven through the settings)

Will it be able to recognize the correct window when launching from the quick launch menu?
This is the tricky one - Maybe a workaround could be to use the last window in focus as the target window?

Maybe it could have a default mode and then hold shift or use alternate mouse button to draw the alternative box.

Or could it be acceptable that the quick-list launched operation only performs a default action?

IMHO, this would work for me - Not the OP, but I prefer keeping the frequent operation simple - Using settings to drive the expected behaviour is better, as it does not confuse the user with many options.
