Description
use crate_x::Fred;
If we are in a workspace we probably have this crate ( or crate-x ) already imported somewhere in another Cargo.toml.
Would be pretty cool to alt-enter the use statement and say "yes please, try to add this crate to my cargo.toml" (if multiple versions are in use could default to the highest),
Would be great for keeping people in the flow...

Research direction
Start by tracing how rust-analyzer handles an alt-enter action on a use statement and how workspace Cargo.toml files are discovered. Check how existing dependency versions are identified across the workspace. Done means the action can add the referenced crate to the appropriate Cargo.toml and choose the highest existing version when multiple versions are available.
