I'm trying to follow this guide http://www.wisdomofjim.com/blog/webstorm-secret-tip-creating-command-line-launcher to add support for opening WebStorm in the current directory from a command line, but there is no such option in the Tools section:
Can someone explain why this option is not available?

Command Line launcher is only available on UNIX platforms, there is no such option for Windows. If you miss it, please vote for IDEA-114307. If you like to start WebStorm from command prompt, open cmd console, cd
to %WS_install_dir%/bin
and run either webstorm64.exe
or webstorm.bat
. If you like to start it from any directory, add %WS_install_dir%/bin
to your system %PATH%
