Research direction
No repository file or test is named. Start by reviewing the package's existing RStudio API entry points and the future package's plan interface, then determine how RStudio Workbench Pro job-launcher submissions should map to future workers. Done means a usable plan_rstudio_launcher that supports the described parallel jobs and works with targets::tar_make_future.

Description
RStudio Workbench Pro has a great job launcher feature which lets the user submit jobs to distributed computing clusters, but it's hard to integrate this system with R packages which are built around the futureverse family of parallel computing resources like targets.
It would be great if there were a plan_rstudio_launcher which let users kick off parallel jobs on their launcher setup. The advantage of this is that it would unlock a bunch of HPC functionality for users (For example targets::tar_make_future would allow you to build a modelling pipeline with a bunch of job launcher calls). I don't think the developers of future have access to a testing environment for this feature so I think it's probably better to have it in this package.
