How do I open a new terminal different from the default terminal?

According to the official docs its quite easy to change the default shell for vscode from say Powershell to Bash. However, what if I want multiple default shells or to launch a new shell of a different type, lets say the php or python interperter in REPL mode? I know I can open a new terminal and run the python repl on top of the default shell, but it seems a little annoying.

Basically, is there some kind of command or something where I can launch a new shell in the integrated terminal, and have that be not the default shell and not be running on top of the default shell so that if I quit the shell, I don't have a shell running under it?
