Description

On February 6th, Azure Data Studio will be retired.
The extension's functionality in ADS to open a new tab with charts directly from the query results was extremely useful.
It would be great if this feature was also brought back for the query results of the vscode-mssql extension.

Currently, to achieve the same result with vscode-mssql, I have to:

  1. Run the query
  2. Export it to CSV
  3. Open the CSV file in VS Code
  4. Open the SandDance chart from the opened CSV file

Research direction

Start by investigating how vscode-mssql query results connect to SandDance and how the current export-to-CSV workflow opens a chart. Compare that flow with the retired Azure Data Studio behavior described in the issue; done means opening a SandDance chart directly from vscode-mssql query results without exporting to CSV.
