Description

This is related to #806.

In that issue, I was using an external project reference to point to the application target. I want to make this application target the executable that is run. I believe this is handled by the LaunchAction, but it does not look like there is support to set this directly.

Is LaunchAction supported or is there a way to set the run executable for a scheme? In my particular case, the target would be an external target.

Research direction

Review issue #806 and the scheme-generation behavior around LaunchAction, with particular attention to external project references and application targets. Confirm whether an external target can be selected as the run executable and define completion as generated schemes launching that target correctly.
