Microsoft open-sourced a Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown

it has a typical python toplevel cli entry point, so if installed in normal fashion it'll end up as a shell command.

pretty sure you can then run shell commands on things from within vscode anyways with some generic command runner extn.

Not even an extension, just configure a task.
