[GENERAL] Linter links to the documentation

[Gotfrid]

Is it possible to somehow hook into the languageserver to replace lintr linnks in the "Problems" tab?

Buy default any lintr issues are leading to the lintr website, but I would very much like if box.linters issues would lead to the box.linters reference website.

Not sure if it's even possible, so just leaving it here as an idea - see the video below.

That would indeed be nice to have. As far as we know, {languageserver} only has public hooks for the document parser. This might be need a modification of languageserver itself.

The link to {lintr} documentation is in the following {languageserver} function

diagnostic_from_lint <- function(result, content) {
    list(
        range = diagnostic_range(result, content),
        severity = diagnostic_severity(result),
        source = "lintr",
        message = result$message,
        code = result$linter,
        codeDescription = list(
            href = sprintf("https://lintr.r-lib.org/reference/%s.html", result$linter)
        )
    )
}
