Feature Request: Separate VT results context menu item
Since OHT already has a VT results fetching function built in, it would be a nice addition to add a separate context menu item so the user can right-click one or more files and get immediate VT results in a window, minus the hashing. I realize that's not what it's intended use is but, again, the functionality is already there. This would be a nice alternative to the VT uploader program, which opens the results in the web browser, each file in a separate tab. Having them all open in one window with quick, easily viewable results, as they are currently displayed, as well as the ability to sort and/or highlight them, would be great.
Also, for the VT results, especially if this is done, but also regarding the ones in the current design, it would be nice to be able to set their double-click action to be different, so double-clicking hashes will copy them to the clipboard but double-clicking VT URLs will open them in the browser (instead of currently having to copy the URL and paste into a browser manually).

VT results require hashing (things can be looked up by MD5, SHA1, SHA256) so this wouldn't achieve much.

This is tracked as part of #112
The advantage would be that it could just calculate MD5 (or whichever one is fastest, though that should be MD5), so it wouldn't have to take the time to calculate them all (assuming there's much time difference), and the results would be cleaner and easier to read. If you create a separate window as in the other issue, which you're already planning on doing, that would be a step in the direction of this already. Then it would just require a second context menu entry to do e.g. the MD5 hash(es) only and retrieve the VT results automatically and display them in that window. This would eliminate the extra step of having to open the hash window then click the VT button, it would eliminate the extra calculation time, and it would eliminate the extra window and clutter of the hashes. Not huge advantages, I realize, but enough to be useful and since most of what's needed for it is already there, I just thought it would be a nice addition.
