Description
Hi, would it be possible to allow the extension to read aliases, environment variables, and functions from separate files? Many users prefer to keep these configurations modular (e.g., ~/.zaliases, ~/.zenv or for some users ~/.zprofile) rather than cluttering the main .zshrc file. Ideally, the extension could automatically source these files or allow users to specify paths to include.
It would be fantastic if the extension could support this structure.
Thanks again for the great work!

Research direction

Determine how separate alias, environment-variable, function, or zprofile files should be discovered or configured, and verify that the extension reads the supported files without breaking existing behavior.
