New workflow ideas for OpossumUI based on a context menu in the file tree

[abraemer]

When discussing a new possible feature allowing for merging an opossum file into a subdirectory of the currently opened file, we had the idea of introducing a new context menu to the file view on the left (see #2776). This context menu potentially opens the way to some more new workflows.

• When we use it for the relative merge functionality: Do we want to add more options to accompany the merge workflow and enable it better? E.g. a "Delete" could be very useful when you want to replace the information of a folder with a more detailed scan. We could also offer a "Import and replace this folder"
• We could use it as home for another potential feature: Extracting a subdirectory into its own opossum file. With the context menu, implementing this would just be adding an option called e.g. "Export directory" + a save dialog (can likely be reused). See Split/Extract subdirectories as standalone opossum files #2778
• Generally: We could think about adding more editing tools for the file structure? Probably not too much since the file structure should always correspond to actual files on the disc. However we could imagine a workflow, where someone decides to create an .opossum file for their very simple/small project entirely by hand. All that is missing for this workflow is a "New file..." menu entry and "Add Folder"/"Add file" context menu entries.
