Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by defining the expected single-view behavior for deep CodeQL type hierarchies and then locate the extension area responsible for type exploration. Done should mean users can explore an entire hierarchy in one view, with behavior confirmed by appropriate tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement VSCode

Type hierarchies in CodeQL can be deep, especially for the core libraries. It would be very helpful for users to be able to explore the entire hierarchy in a single view.
