Description
Currently you define include directories in the clang arguments, this is OK but it becomes a little annoying to work with if you are constantly defining new types, it would be nice to persist these somewhere, possibly in the view.
Other tools like IDA have "compiler options" which define these include directories as a seperate config option, which lets them use a file picker, which is preferred!
They also store these compiler options in the database along with predefined macros.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing clang argument and type-parser settings, then trace how views and databases persist configuration; done should include persistent include directories and predefined macros with a file-picker workflow, but the exact scope needs clarification.
