Dependent project can't see ext imports to make suggestions

[JFixby]

Reproduction steps:

Example project: https://github.com/JFixby/DartImportsExample

class B located in the project_a/lib/folderB1/class_b_file.dart

class D located in the project_d/lib/class_d_depends_on_b.dart
content:

class D {
  B instanceOfB = new B();
}

What was done

open suggestions

What is expected

to see proposal to add import 'package:project_a/folderB1/class_b_file.dart';

What is actually happening

no suggestions

has to do a manual import instead

@scheglov I think this will be covered by the work you're planning on doing in this area.

I suggest import resolution should be managed by IDE and a runtime environment, not by specifying a file path in a .dart file.

[JFixby]

This issue is a the real pain in a butt.

[JFixby]

Can you please add a temporary feature where I can click on a desired file with a command like copy import path so the buffer will contain full import path.

Right now I'm clicking copy relative path

and it gives me something like lib/api/io/hash.dart that I have to past into my code and make it an actual import statement by adding the import "package:bla_bla_blla...";

Seems to be a dup or related to #21931 perhaps also #24257

I believe this was fixed.
Twice.
First time with available declarations.
And then re-implemented using NotImportedContributor.
