Description

When a workspace file is dropped or pasted into a CSS file, the result should be a formatted link. If image_1.png is dropped/pasted, then the result in the editor should be url("image_png"), using the file's relative path.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how VS Code handles file drop/paste events in text editors, focusing on the CSS language extension. Look at the existing implementation for other languages (e.g., HTML for image links) and adapt for CSS.
