Description

I would be cool if one could reference to a uml diagram from `D2` or `PlantUML` and it shows the generated diagram while hovering over the comment - currently one has to generate the images before hand

Research direction

The issue mentions the Image-Comments Visual Studio Code extension but names no files, tests, or entry points. First inspect the existing hover-preview behavior and how referenced images are handled, then determine how D2 or PlantUML diagrams could be generated on demand. Done means hovering over a comment displays the generated diagram without requiring pre-generated images.
