Description

The sqlcmd create command makes it much easier to share a local environment with others using a single command-line that runs on every common OS (Windows/Mac/Linux).

To also enable sharing of a "repro" script in the same single command-line add --open ads --file https://aka.ms/repro.sql" to sqlcmd create

e.g.:

sqlcmd create mssql --using https://aka.ms/AdventureWorksLT.bak --open ads --file https://tiny.url/my-repro.sql

This command would not "execute" any SQL. It would load the my-repro.sql in an ADS query windows, and connect to the SQL Server just started in a local container.

Research direction

Start by tracing the sqlcmd create command and its existing --using handling, then review how sqlcmd open ads connects to a local SQL Server. Add support for --open ads --file <URL> so the command opens the downloaded repro script in an Azure Data Studio query window without executing it; verify the example command across supported operating systems.
