Feature Request: "Boost/Favorite as.." similar to "Open as.."

Pitch

I'm picturing something in the context menu similar to the "Open as.." option but for boosting and favoriting if the user isn't planning substantial interaction with the toot.

Motivation

I've recently started using Tusky with multiple fediverse accounts. The "Open as [additional profile]" is a game-changer and I love it.. however, in my alternate profile, I typically boost more than comment so it's a little tedious to keep switching back and forth between accounts. If there's any way to skip the step and provide an option for boosting/faving to a different profile without leaving the same screen would be incredible for a use case like mine.

Also thank you so very much for an incredible product!

I too use Tusky with multiple accounts and having the ability to favorite and boost something to another account than the currently active one without switching accounts would be a game changer!

I really like the way Fedilab handles this and would love to see Tusky implement something similar. In Fedilab, a quick tap on favorite or boost performs those actions for the currently active account. Long-pressing favorite or boost pops up a window showing all connected accounts, and when you select one, that action is performed for the current post on the account you selected.

This is a massively better user experience than having to use the "Open as " context menu option, as Tusky does not save your place in the timeline when switching between accounts.
