Issue Subject: Addition of Functionality to Save Custom Operations

Description:

Currently, while using the 'Data Wrangler' extension in Visual Studio Code, I propose the inclusion of a feature that allows users to create and save custom operations, providing a convenient way to reuse customized code.

While exploring the tool, I appreciate its similarity to Power Query and suggest expanding this experience by enabling the direct inclusion and storage of custom codes within the extension.

Usage Example: For instance, the operation of removing the first rows of a DataFrame can be achieved with the following code:

df = df.iloc[1:, :]

I recommend adding this functionality to the side menu for easy access and utilization by users (see attached image).

This addition would not only enhance the usability of the extension but also provide a more efficient approach for users looking to apply custom operations quickly and intuitively.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Hi @revalani, thanks for opening this request!

We added this feature to our backlogs and will provide updates on this thread.

+1, many feature requests would be resolved if this is supported. And ideally, people can share their custom operations (like code snippets), or leave field/string placeholders to select with dropdown menus (on the operation panel)
