Description

For some reasons, we want to use the debug tools provided by other IDE tools. If there is a convenient way to open current workspace in them, that would be great.

- **CMake: Open Current Workspace in Visual Studio.**
- **CMake: Open Current Workspace in Qt Creator.**
- **CMake: Open Current Workspace in CLion.**
- ...etc

Research direction

The issue names commands for opening the current workspace in Visual Studio, Qt Creator, and CLion, but mentions no files, tests, command entry points, or expected behavior. Start by locating how existing CMake Tools commands are registered, then define the workspace conversion and launch behavior for each target IDE and add coverage for the supported commands.
