Configure Powershell to be conemu's default shell

Question

Is it possible to configure Powershell to be conemu's default shell?

I know I can add additional "tasks" to conemu but I want it to default to use Powershell instead of cmd.exe so that, for example, when I use a plugin for an IDE that opens conemu in the current working directory, it does so with a conemu-wrapped Powershell instance.

If you want to start in a specific directory, change the task definition like so:
