Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
As a user, it is hard to sometimes search for resources; if many things I work on are on the stack. Even if I search, I may misclick and accidently do something wrong to a resource.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
A favorites directory, in which I can favorite resources to be housed in there. For example, if there are 200 lambdas; but I only work on three of them; I would favorite the three and it would be stored under Favorites -> AWS Lambda.

(Nice to have) The favorited resources are stored locally in a JSON object so I can delete them from the folder from there.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I have used search as well, but if things are named similar it can lead to errors. I am only human and can click the wrong thing.
With a favorite's directory, I can favorite test resources so even if I misclick; I know it will not affect production.

**Additional context**
Thats it, very awesome vs code extension.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the extension's existing resource navigation and search flows, then determine how favorites should be grouped and persisted. Done means users can favorite commonly used AWS resources, access them through a Favorites directory, and remove them without affecting the underlying resources.
