Description
I hope there is a select box on vscode GUI to select the toolchain or cross-file to use, and this selected file should be appended as an argument to meson command line, just like the "CMake Tools" does(extension id: ms-vscode.cmake-tools)

Research direction
Start by tracing how the VS Code GUI invokes Meson and where command-line arguments are assembled. Add a GUI selection for a toolchain or cross file, pass the selected file to the Meson command, and verify the generated invocation matches the requested behavior.
