Description
When the user creates a shinylive link for a directory with several files, for e.g. https://github.com/posit-dev/py-shiny/tree/main/examples/brownian, the user gets to select the editor or app mode in Shinylive mode, but the corresponding modal that asks the user to select the option to either open the link or copy the link takes a while.
We should have a way to provide user feedback during this waiting period, so that the user knows that the operation is still in progress.

Research direction
Start by reproducing Shinylive link creation in VS Code with the linked brownian directory, following the Shinylive mode flow through the editor or app selection and the delayed open/copy modal. Done means visible feedback remains during the wait and the existing open-or-copy choices still appear after link creation completes.
