how to make a reference for settings inside extension contributes/configuration in vscode

Question

similar to vscode settings reference

am trying to do the same using

"someExt.test": {
    "type": "string",
    "default": 'hello',
    "markdownDescription": "test [Emmet](command:workbench.action.openSettings?@ext:vscode.emmet)"
}

but it doesn't work & i cant find any documentation for it, so any help is appreciated

This is the line in the file resources/app/out/nls.metadata.json for this option

"Controls the delay in ms after which a dirty file is saved automatically.
Only applies when `#files.autoSave#` is set to `{0}`."

I don't know if it is documented but

`#files.autoSave#`

looks like the syntax to get a reference to another setting.

@ctf0 looks like the syntax to get a reference to another setting: `\`#files.autoSave#\`` – rioV8 Feb 06 '20 at 03:28
focken legend, btw do u know a way to also call the extension it self ex.`@ext:vscode.emmet` ? – ctf0 Feb 06 '20 at 08:54
@ctf0 have a look at multi-command as mentioned in https://stackoverflow.com/a/60089510/9938317 – rioV8 Feb 06 '20 at 10:45
cant find anything related to the question https://github.com/ryuta46/vscode-multi-command/blob/master/package.json – ctf0 Feb 06 '20 at 11:02
@ctf0 Look at the source code of the extension how they execute the commands – rioV8 Feb 06 '20 at 11:03
u mis-understood me, am searching for contributes/configuration, not command execution api – ctf0 Feb 06 '20 at 11:05
@ctf0 you can only call the extension by its exported commands – rioV8 Feb 06 '20 at 11:35
oh ok, thanx again – ctf0 Feb 06 '20 at 12:42
