Description

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

My schema is defined in https://foo.net/openapi, which returns a swagger/openapi document, but my schema needs to be a specific model in the JSON response.

That is,foo.yaml's schema is actually defined by https://foo.net.net/openapi#components.schemas.MyJsonSchemaThing

Describe the solution you would like

Support specifying a lookup path from the JSON response.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Writing a proxy server to do this path traversal for me

Additional context

OpenAPI/Swagger is a pretty common provider of JSONSchema models. Would be great to support this common use case.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the language server resolves the remote schema at https://foo.net/openapi and compare it with the requested fragment ending in #components.schemas.MyJsonSchemaThing. Define the supported lookup-path behavior for foo.yaml and verify that a schema nested in an OpenAPI response resolves without a proxy.
