Intellisense for TS/JS package.json imports and exports

[valler]

One should be able to follow the urls/paths/specifiers in a package.json imports or exports field, etc. Basically one should expect the same DX for these as for TS/JS module imports.

Example:

{
  "imports": {
    "#foo": "@six-seven/cmd-click-me-bro",
    "#bar": "./i-want-to-be-resolved/index.ts"
  },
  "exports": {
    "./baz": "./give-me-intellisense.ts"
  }
}

There's not really a great place for this, architecturally:

• node is the real arbiter of truth here, but doesn't have an LSP at all
• TypeScript is the next-best provider, but isn't operating in package.json contexts
• JSON Schema is providing LSP here, but can't do dynamic file-based stuff

Barring a lot more feedback, this is basically out of scope for everyone. Hopefully no one has an export map complicated enough to warrant this 😬

It's not really about complexity; more about the convenience of links, so you wouldn't need to switch to the explorer.
