Feature request: LSP hover

[ficcdaf]

markdown-oxide implements the LSP hover command, which is very useful. For example, when the cursor is over a link to a section, you can trigger the hover (space + k in Helix by default) and a popup will appear that shows a preview of the linked section's contents. I think this would be a really great feature to have. markdown-oxide is also written in Rust so perhaps you can peek at how they've implemented it?

Sounds like a useful feature and it’s also not hard to build. This can be a great first-issue for someone who’s is willing to contribute.

I could give this a shot... I'm quite new to Rust (halfway through Rustlings rn) though... Do you think this would be a good contribution to "get my feet wet" with Rust?

I've set up a branch to work on this. If anyone wants to help, ask here and I'll add you as a contributor on the fork.
