HotReload not working when adding assets into the solution

Current behavior

HotReload not working when adding assets into the solution

Expected behavior

HotReload should work when adding assets to the solution? At the moment tested on Windows and not working, please test the other platforms to adjust the expected behavior here

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

• Run the app solution (using XAML or C# Markup and tested on Windows)
• Add an asset in the Assets folder (like an svg for example)
• Add an Image control and use the path of this previous asset as a Source
• Use HotReload and notice it is not picking up the new asset

Adding assets is not a supported scenario for hot reload at all in vscode. In VS, it might not be supported either, because parts of the processing needs to happen in MSBuild, and the HR tooling inside VS only seems to handle the roslyn part of the build.

We can keep this opened for reference, but we will not be able to fix this. The only part that we can fix is to add C# files, for vscode only. (VS Supports it already).
