Request

Another cross-compatibility feature: it would be great if Positron could support running RStudio addins. Most addins run R code or launch Shiny apps, and some require support from rstudioapi (see #1312), but most addins are merely a convenient interface to access packaged R code.

Again, there is prior art in the vscode-R extension.

Added a thumbs up, but it'd be really nice to support/expose add-ins via the Command Palette. This would be a nice, lightweight way to extend Positron without going the full extension route.

This came up pretty early in our private beta as well: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron-beta/discussions/43
