Description

We should include an interactive way to discover collections, possibly to replace the collections parameter in its entirety since it has historically been a UX trashpile.

I don't know how that could look like. Mockups are welcome.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing collections parameter and how collection selection currently works in the CLI. The issue provides no named files, tests, or agreed interaction, so first establish the desired workflow and mockups with maintainers. Done would require an accepted interactive discovery design and an implementation scope.
