Hey @swanny,

Thank you for reaching out to us!
I see a couple of questions here, I'll try to break it down:
First of all, related to whether the extension can be used within VS Code's integrated terminal (where your shell is Powershell), this is not currently possible.
Related to using secret references that get replaced in your script by the underlying 1Password secrets, this is not necessarily related to the VSCode extension, it is a feature of the CLI. i.e. you can achieve this using configuration files (via op inject) or environment variables (via op run). I'll link some relevant documentation here:
https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/secret-references
https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/secrets-environment-variables
https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/secrets-config-files

Let us know if this helps. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Horia
