I mean I guess this is "by-design" right now - the context menu entry is only supposed to open up your default profile in the specified directory.

I guess this is a setting that we could use to combine with #6111

Unfortunately, I'm going to close this one out as "By design". We'll have some more configurability when #6111 lands, but in general we cannot comport "open terminal with a profile here" with "also do these startup actions". I suspect that most users do not want terminal to, say, "new-tab; new-tab; split-pane -p Ubuntu" when they just right-click-open-terminal-here.

That said, some of the experimental stuff we've been discussing around menu item to action binding would make this easier.
