Why cmd+click does not open the file when the route uses {{ asset(' in laravel - vscode?

When using Laravel in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) and trying to open a file by clicking on an asset URL that uses the {{ asset() }} helper function, the file may not open directly. This is because VSCode does not recognize the helper function and treats the URL as a string instead of a file path.

To open the file in VSCode, you can follow these steps:

Place your cursor on the {{ asset() }} helper function in your Blade template file.
Press F1 to open the Command Palette.
Type Go to File: Open and press Enter.
Type or paste the generated file path that appears inside the quotes of the asset() helper function. For example, if the helper function looks like this: {{ asset('css/app.css') }}, then you should type or paste css/app.css in the input field.
Press Enter to open the file in VSCode.

Alternatively, you can also configure VSCode to open files using the asset() helper function by installing a Laravel extension, such as Laravel Blade Runner or Laravel VSCode Snippets. These extensions provide features like intelligent code completion, syntax highlighting, and the ability to open files by clicking on asset() helper functions.

By following these steps, you should be able to open files in VSCode that are referenced using the asset() helper function in Laravel Blade templates.
