For example, the "Language Servers" preference page has a list of Content Type to Language Server associations. Perhaps, next to the entry for the C/C++ Language Server, it would make sense to have a "Configure..." button that opens our specific preference page?And indeed, a user may get to the LS pref page as entry point to tweak a LS, and may not realize that customization happens someplace else.So I'm entirely in favor of adding a link from a mapping to another preference page. This could be achieved simply by adding a preferencePageReference attribute to the org.eclipse.lsp4e/contentTypeMapping extension point and rendered in the table as an hyperlink or something similar.Feel free to provide a patch about this anytime, I would really welcome it and make sure we can collaborate to get this integrated soon.Does anyone have some concern with this feature?Cheers,
