You can add a directory to the Files sidebar by dragging it into the bookmarks section:

There is no way to display favorites in the right-click menu through the dock. One other option would be adding a custom .desktop file set to launch Files to a specific directory, with the Exec line set to a command like nautilus /path/to/your/folder.

This is not a discussion forum, this is a development bug tracker. Furthermore, this question is not related to the window tilling extension, Pop Shell. Bugs can be filed for the COSMIC Dock or Pop!_OS in general in their respective repositories. For general discussion and questions, please visit the Pop!_OS Reddit forum or Mattermost chatroom. System76 customers can also reach out to support for technical assistance.

@nazar2sfive What is this a screenshot of? What distribution is that? Please open the Extensions app, it would show which dock extension you're using. Also, please open the "File Explorer" app you're currently right-clicking on since it will show which file manager you're displaying in that screenshot. Nautilus sometimes goes by Files, but usually not by File Explorer.
