Option to show full diagnostic message at top-right corner of editor window

Hello!

I love this extension, however it continually bothers me that sometimes the text that Error Lens provides is cut off if the text extends past the end of the current window.

I was wondering if it would be possible to have the message show at the top right corner of the editor window instead of just at the end of the line of text you're currently looking at? As a visual aid, please refer to the following neovim plugin's demo video, which essentially does exactly what I would like (except, it's in neovim, which is less than ideal when I'm in VSCode 🙂): https://github.com/Mofiqul/trld.nvim

Showing it at the top-right of the editor will allow you to put the full text of the error instead of just a portion. I don't know if this would be possible in VSCode's API, but I figured it's worth asking!

There's no api for that.
