SUGGESTION: Open/edit different manifest files. #143

Hello. First of all, thank you for your work on this wonderful plugin! I use it often, and it is an important part of my regular workflow. I do, however, have a suggestion for how it could be much more useful.

Currently, the only way to work with a manifest file is for it to be in <root>/manifest/package.xml. However, in many workflows, it is quite common to need different/multiple manifest files; for example, a destructiveChanges.xml file.

While the option does exist to copy manifest contents to a clipboard, and manually paste them into the destination file of your choosing, there is no option to read manifest contents from any other file. Meaning, if I want to open and edit my destructiveChanges.xml file, I must replace the contents of my manifest/package.xml, then re-open the plugin, make my changes, copy the contents into the correct destination file, and then restore the original package.xml.

This would be so much simpler if I could right-click on an .xml file and say "Open with Package.xml Generator", and/or if there were a command to "Open existing file with Package.xml Generator".

Thank you for your consideration
