TFS: comparing shelveset files with local version

When viewing files in a shelveset, I would like the option of comparing the files to my current local version. Unfortunately, the only options available are "With Unmodified", "With Workspace" (I guess this one would be the answer, if it wasn't disabled) and "With Latest".

Any ideas?

Although this isn't the ideal way to do it, depending on your comparison tool you may be able to tell it to compare the shelved version to a local version (workspace). I use Beyond Compare, and this allows you to open a file to compare to. So from the shelveset I do a compare to Latest, and then replace the 'latest' with my local workspace version.

Unfortunately I've just checked the built in comparison tool and it doesn't provide this option.
