It will return the same thing that would come to registerCommand (https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#commands.registerCommand) as the second argument if the context menu was called in explorer. (list of URIs of selected files in explorer)

Thanks for your PR, however this is not how we would tackle that feature request.
Ideally we would introduce real API. Having a command is a workaround which we currently do not want to have.
Thus for now assigning this PR to the backlog and we have no plans to merge it in.

I can add it to api, tell me only in which of the object

[isidorn]

We do not want to add it to the API just yet. Once we decide to do that it has to go through our API discussion process.

But in fact, this is already there, if you select the same action but through explorer/context

@isidorn is there ETA?

[isidorn]

No. Backlog means no plans to tackle this at the moment.

[isidorn]

No plans to merge, thus closing.
