Autocomplete for long filenames too short

Describe the Bug

When doing @ for a file, I often have files that are nested deeply and named long and similarly. Perhaps shame on me!

The @ ability is great, but only when its not guesswork which it is. See attached screenshot. Is there a way to disambiguate? Hover doesn’t seem to help but would be acceptable imo.

Steps to Reproduce

In the chat, type @ and have a couple files in your tree that look like this:

ddb-booking-request-email-messages-queries.ts
ddb-booking-request-email-messages-updates.ts

Expected Behavior

I should be able to easily see or determine which file I’m picking.
