Clicking MP config props link in hover opens file:///... URL in browser rather than opening file in IDE source editor

[scottkurz]

With the MP LS hover support for config props, hovering over the 'name' attribute String value pops up help text that appears to read like Javadoc-style info, with a file URL link.

E.g. I might see something like:

abc=23 in META-INF/microprofile-config.properties

where META-INF/microprofile-config.properties is hyperlinked to a URL: file:///<path-to-proj-home>/src/main/resources/META-INF/microprofile-config.properties.

If I click on this it opens the file in a browser. However it would be more useful to open in the IDE editor.

Assuming this would likely need to be addressed in the LSP4MP source though not knowing for sure, it is conceivable at least there might be an Eclipse preference that could be relevant.

Opened here to track until we open an issue with LSP4MP

@kathrynkodama do you have any experience with this kind of issue ? Does the LSP have guidance on what type of "links" can be passed to project files within the workspace? I'm thinking if there's an Eclipse-specific value that'd be helpful here, well, the LSP wouldn't supply it from the IDE-neutral level.. so how would the Eclipse-specific value get generated (by whom)?

[scottkurz]

One angle to start with would be to see if there's a more general (not necessarily LSP-specific) preference in Eclipse specifically to open a file: URL within the workspace... even if this might require installing some other plugin.

I'm not sure from the IDE-neutral LSP impl view we'd want to supply a different string here, so this might end up being the best we can do.
