Description

These would hopefully work similar to the ext commands.

"command param" and then it auto populates intellisense autocomplete in the options. This would be something I would see as an end goal. At first, it would be nice to see positional parameters sort of like this:

"command param1 param2 param3"

You could go for these working similar to powershell, or make them more limited similar to the ext commands, where they take only 1 param, but give you intellisense style choices.

Research direction

No file or test is identified. Start by locating the existing ext-command handling and its IntelliSense integration, then determine how command arguments are parsed. Before implementation, clarify whether positional parameters, PowerShell-like options, or limited one-parameter ext-command behavior is required; done would include the agreed syntax and autocomplete choices.
