Description
I know that I can edit settings to invoke cargo clippy instead of cargo check, save a file to trigger RA recheck, observe and fix Clippy issues in the project, then change settings back to use usual cargo check.
Is there (or should there be) a better, more user-friendly way of viewing Clippy diagnostics without modifying settings every time, also without opting in to Clippy notices permanently?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the current workflow: configure rust-analyzer to invoke cargo clippy, save a file to trigger rechecking, then compare it with cargo check. Verify that the proposed temporary workflow shows Clippy diagnostics without requiring repeated settings changes or permanently enabling Clippy notices.
