Description
I'm writing a custom LSP for HTML and I'm wondering if it is possible to trigger a new completion after someone accepts a completion item. For example, let's say that a user is selecting a role attribute value in HTML and it autocompletes with additional attributes that pair with the specified role (| represents the cursor):
Initial completion state:
<div role="|"></div>
After first completion:
<div role="checkbox" aria-checked="|"></div>
Ideally a new completion should be triggered automatically where the cursor is for the value of aria-checked, but right now it does not. Is something like that possible?

No file or test is identified in the issue. Start by reviewing the LSP completion and completion-item behavior relevant to acceptance, then determine whether the protocol can request another completion at the new cursor position. Done means documenting a supported mechanism or clarifying the protocol change needed.
