Add Tailscale hosts to "Open a Remote Window" menu

[legowerewolf]

Down on the bottom left of the window, there's that little button to connect to any remote option available. It'd be cool if this extension could provide options for that.

I tried spelunking through the remote-ssh compiled extension code and could not find any way for us to inject it into it. Unfortunately, it's not an open-source extension.

Did you find this?

Oh, never mind, there's no actual code there.

Came here to request the same feature. In the menu in the screenshot below, there are sections ("WSL", "Remote-SSH", "Dev Containers", "Live Share"). Some sections clearly refer to other extensions, which leads me to believe they've thought of some mechanism to let extensions suggest options. It would be quite natural to have a "Tailscale" section there, and then automatically suggest nodes in the tailnet. If Tailscale SSH is enabled, suggest nodes for which I have SSH permissions (maybe even show the others but indicate that these are not available), and if it is not enabled show all nodes.

It might be worth to file an issue, maybe they are willing to open this up.
