This PR introduces an ability for a Core feature to provide a tooltip for a QuickPickItem.

  • ctrl+space to toggle the tooltip or hover over an item with your mouse to show the hover
  • The tooltip can be a string or markdown string
  • Tabbing over to the hover is doable in order to click on links

Fixes #174473

This also breaks the equality check, but id would fix it

@TylerLeonhardt there's a couple of potential issues with this solution regarding keyboard accessibility.

In order to be discoverable, this should either be conveyed to the user through markup (as in, "has tooltip, press [ .. ] to activate". or at least be a well-known key combination across users (such as Shift+F1).

Additionally note that Ctrl is actually the key that's commonly used to dismiss tooltips rather than summon them in many Windows applications and is preferred by many keyboard users due to that.

probably should be resolved somehow in #175662
