Question

Hi I am developing an extension for VSCode. I am decorating the text editor and hovering some items. Is it possible to make clickable items at hoverMessage and modify the range according to it.

Yes, using markdown you can then create a command link that will execute a command when a user clicks on it:

import * as vscode from 'vscode';

const myContent = new vscode.MarkdownString('[link](command:myCommand?arg1)');

// Command Uris are disabled by default for security reasons.
// If you set this flag, make sure your content is not constructed
// using untrusted/unsanitized text.
myContent.isTrusted = true;

const myHover = new Hover(myContent);

This command can perform whatever action you want
