What is VSCode Links?
With a js config file you can define new links in VSCode and make them behave how you want. For example you could make a string like "api.general.users.getUser" be clickable and directly jump to the right function in the right file.
Problem
Developers using VSCode often struggle to navigate and manage links across various files and protocols, leading to inefficiencies and decreased productivity, due to the lack of content-aware linking mechanisms within the editor that can directly connect code references and relevant documents.
Solution
VSCode Links introduces a configurable extension that enhances the way links are handled within VSCode. With a JavaScript configuration file, users can define new link behaviors, making elements like 'api.general.users.getUser' clickable, directly connecting to the specified function in the appropriate file.
