Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I usually add wiki link but not create Markdown files for it immediately but later.

Currently, there is no way to list all missing wiki links.

Describe the solution you'd like

As a user, I expect these behaviours:

  1. Run a command Foam: List missing wiki links to list all missing wiki links in the current project.
  2. Clicking on an item in the result will display a dialog to select or enter the relative path of the new file.
  3. Press Enter after give an input path and file will be created and opened.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Nothing.

Research direction
Examine existing command implementations in the repository, such as 'Foam: Create Note' or similar, to understand the pattern for registering commands and handling file creation. The command should scan .md files for wiki links and compare against existing files. Pay attention to the VSCode extension API for QuickPick or InputBox dialogs. Look at the src/ directory for command registration files.
