I am new to vscode extension development so not sure best places to look for help. I want to hover over a word, and if that word matches the name in our icon directory, show a hover with that image. My first try was to use markdown to show the svg image from the web, but I believe that is not allowed for security that code could be executed. Can I show an svg in the markdown in a vscode.Hover? I can either include the svgs in the extension, or expect that the developer has already installed the npm package with the files into the workspace.

There's only very limited Markdown support in hover items and images are not supported there at all, as far as I know.

There is actually quite rich support for content and styling in MarkdownString in hovers. But, you want svg's which I don't see as supported on the list, see
