Add VS Code action to reload the project in the IDE with a new project in a different directory

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

For workshops with multiple code projects, right now you have to put the code under a parent dir and open the parent dir in VS Code.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great to have an option where VS Code could be made to load again using a new directory as project root

From memory there is a VS Code Editor command one can use with editor:execute-command to open a new workspace. The problem is that it will create a complete new browser window/tab with editor on the new workspace. I can't remember if there was a terminal command which allowed you to replace the current workspace. There may though be a way to add a new directory to the current workspace. Will need to see if I can find where information about these internal commands are.

To see what commands might be used, search for workspace in Keyboard Shortcuts window on VS Code Editor. Issue will be working how inputs are provided. Many commands will put of prompt window for input rather than taking as param.
