Terminal links should open word links if there is exactly 1 matching file inside the workspaces

With #21125 (comment) I'm triggering quick access via IQuickInputService.quickAccess.show(string). Ideally it would automatically activate the first item before showing the quick access if it's the only item available. Is there a way to way to do this already and if not could this be a new option here?

vscode/src/vs/platform/quickinput/common/quickAccess.ts

Lines 13 to 31 in 01a9cf1

	export interface IQuickAccessOptions {
	/**
	* Allows to enable quick navigate support in quick input.
	*/
	quickNavigateConfiguration?: IQuickNavigateConfiguration;
	/**
	* Allows to configure a different item activation strategy.
	* By default the first item in the list will get activated.
	*/
	itemActivation?: ItemActivation;
	/**
	* Wether to take the input value as is and not restore it
	* from any existing value if quick access is visible.
	*/
	preserveValue?: boolean;
	}

No, quick input (and quick access) do not have such an option. Can you not simply check how many picks you return and if there is just one, take it?

@bpasero how would I go about doing that? Would that use all the quick access providers?

What I'm after is for a user to ctrl/cmd+click say "package.json", and if there is only 1 package.json in the workspace then it should open it directly (ideally without a flash of the quick input opening), otherwise do the equivalent of ctrl/cmd+p package.json.

I haven't touched any of these APIs before and only found this quickaccess.show by searching around which mostly does what I'm after.

Instead of using quick access to search for the files, you would probably have to search for them yourself, if there is only 1 result, use it, and if there are more, show a quick pick for all those files using IQuickInputService.pick().

Thanks for the help all, I got this working and will make this issue a bug to verify.
