Feature Request: Autocomplete for context artifacts' names in Assistant Chat Input

Description:
Enhance the Assistant chat panel in Zed Editor by introducing an autocomplete feature for file names and context artifacts during prompt entry. This feature will dynamically suggest file names, directories, and other relevant workspace artifacts as users type, enabling seamless referencing of files and project elements in Assistant conversations.

Key Benefits:

1. Context-Aware Suggestions: Autocomplete suggestions are based on the current workspace, including file names, paths, and recently interacted files.
2. Efficiency Boost: Users can quickly reference files without typing full paths, streamlining interactions with the Assistant.
3. Error Reduction: Prevents typos or incorrect file references by ensuring accurate autocomplete options.
4. Integrated Context: Suggests related files or artifacts based on the ongoing conversation and workspace relevance.
5. Intuitive Ranking: Prioritizes frequently used, recently modified, or contextually relevant files for quicker access.

This feature simplifies and accelerates the user experience when referencing files in prompts, fostering a smoother and more intuitive interaction with the Assistant in Zed Editor.

Hey @l4b4r4b4b4, sorry for the late reply here, we've been a bit backed up, and then the holidays hit. Just to be sure, I'm guessing you already know about slash commands, which does have an autocompletions system for things like /file and such? I'm assuming you are simply wanting this sort of behavior on all the time, a system that is triggered by typing in general and not only on slash commands?
