Research direction

Start by tracing how the VS Code extension displays interpreted alert and path alert query results, then compare that with the existing raw metric-query view. Review the CLI's summary table for unlocated metrics and determine how located results with associated numbers should appear. Done means both located and unlocated metric query results can be viewed in the extension.

Description

VSCode

Currently the VS Code extension supports viewing the raw results of metric queries, but it can't view the interpreted results of metric queries like it can for alert and path alert queries. Located metrics queries can likely be displayed similarly to alerts — the only difference is that they have a number associated with each result. Unlocated metric queries are a little more difficult to display. We may want to take inspiration here from the summary table printed by the CLI.
