Context menu in IDz z/OS Project Explorer does not provide sufficient new artifact options

With IDz/RTC integration, if one wants to create a new zFolder or zFile in a zComponent project, there is not a menu option in the context menu for creating a new zFile or zFolder in the z/OS project explorer view (the typical view for editing code in RTC for mainframe users)

    It makes sense, but this should be a IDz RFE.
