Description
Issue Type: Feature Request
This might require additional calls but ideally if I am entering a parameter that is on a unique parameterset, the codelens should automatically switch to that overload.

Research direction
Start by locating the Parameter Completion Codelens and its ParameterSet selection logic in the TypeScript extension, then reproduce the behavior in VS Code using a command with a uniquely matching parameter set. Done means the codelens automatically switches to that matching overload while entering a parameter, with the behavior covered by the relevant existing tests if available.
