Alt + Click to open file

[brettcannon]

Discussed in microsoft/vscode-python#16666

Currently, I can only open file if the importing file is available or open a file with prefix file:/// using Alt + Click.
It would be very nice if I'm able to open and create file/folder using when importing (if the importing file doesn't exist, new file is created) and string editing (when open command for example) with Alt + Click.
Thank you very much!

@beasthunter97, could you please clarify the enhancement you are looking for? is the scenario:

• write the import statement in the file
• Alt-click the module name - which results in the file being created?
  thanks!

Yes, for example:
import test
When I use Alt + Click on test, I expect it to:

• Open file test.py if it exist (which is already working)
• Create test.py file if it doesn't exist

and the same with string "./abc.py"
