Expose 'Reimport' on right-click context menu in the FileSystem panel #6320
Description
Describe the project you are working on
A 2D adventure game which uses importer plugins to generate Godot scenes and resources
Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project
When I'm working with import plugins that generate Godot scenes and resources (like vnen's Tiled importer among other custom plugins), sometimes I want to force a reimport to regenerate them. This could be because I'm iterating on the import code or because the generated files got into a bad state. Often I have the generated scene open in the editor and I want to reimport and reload the scene. So selecting the resource under Filesystem, then going to the import tab, then clicking reimport feels like an avoidable bit of navigation that could be sped up with a context menu item.
Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation
Right clicking the resource and clicking reimport cuts out navigation to different tabs. I'd be able to reimport my resources in two clicks in quick succession
Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams
When the user right clicks an importable resource, "Reimport" would appear in the right click menu, which the user could click to trigger a reimport without changing the current "Import As" setting.
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?
I tried searching but I didn't find a way for a plugin to add entries to Filesystem's right-click menu
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?
This is to speed up a workflow and I'm not sure how to implement it as an add-on.
