Research direction

Start by reading the existing PSHostUserInterface prompt APIs and the integrated console and editor-command integration described in the issue. The work is done when $psEditor exposes a focused quick-pick API that modules such as Plaster can use instead of the existing prompt APIs.

Description

Area-psEditor Issue-Enhancement

Now that we've moved to an integrated console in the PowerShell extension for VS Code, we need an alternative way for showing UI prompts from modules like Plaster and other editor commands. It would be better to have a more focused API for showing quick pick lists instead of overloading the existing PSHostUserInterface prompt APIs.
