it works good, but it would be awesome to have multiple icons (chekbox for IDE settings instead of radio) so i can open something quick in Vscode, other things in webstorm, intellij idea, android studio depending on the project or file types etc.

Good extension, but unfortunately the PHPStorm button is displayed over the line number in a PR. I cannot share a permalink with this extension enbled. I'd prefer the button to be in the context menu.
