The root need for this stems from the fact that it would be nice to "namespace" actions from a plugin, for example sidekick, where you want to search in the command-palette for all sidekick items. Instead of filling up the display text for each of those we should probably take advantage of the extraSearchableText field by filling it with "alias". Then when sidekick registers actions it can also add an alias of Sidekick/ORIGINAL_NAME or something similar. This would mean that searching in the command palette for Sidekick/ would find all of those items.
We might want to solve this another way, but this looks like it would solve the problem using the existing APIs.
