Description

### Description

If you have this piece of TypeScript code and not installed @types/lodash, NetBeans shows an editor hint, which seems to come from the LSP with message: "Install '@types/lodash". When I hit enter, nothing happens, so it should do an npm i as mentioned in the hint.

```Typescript
import {
trim
} from 'lodash';

export default class Test {
public fun(sql: string): string {
let formattedSql: string;

formattedSql = sql
.replace(/\n/g, ' ')
.replace(/\t/g, ' ')
.replace(/ +/g, ' ');

formattedSql = trim(formattedSql);

return formattedSql;
};
}
```

Research direction

Reproduce the TypeScript example importing lodash without @types/lodash in NetBeans and inspect the LSP install-type-definition hint. Done means activating the hint runs the corresponding npm install action and installs the requested type definitions.
