Trigger an extension by typing a keyword
Description
It would be nice to have the option next to a shortcut to add a keyword to the extension to trigger them.
A thing I used to do when I was using Alfred is typing something like ::lp in an input field. This would trigger a workflow to generate a random lorem ipsum paragraph. It would be bonkers if raycast could have this with an extra twist.
Imagine I type ::lp4 and this would trigger my alias 'lp' with a value of 4. Then this text would be replaced with 4 random paragraphs.
So it's an extension on the snippet feature. You type something anywhere and an extension gets triggered. And you have the option to type the parameter directly. This can be done with regexes? Something like /::lp(d)/ ?
Who will benefit from this feature?
Everyone who would like to have dynamic snippets triggered from an extension, and just want speedy replacements while typing.
Anything else?
If this is already possible with a feature I'm not aware of, then the documentation needs some updates .
