Sometimes I need a quick search outside of the current project.
A command like this is super helpful:

:file-picker ../other-project

And if it happens too often, I will:

[keys.normal]
"space" = { z = ":file-picker ~/projects/rust/library/std" }

I think a typeable command for the file picker would be useful. Should this be the behavior of using :open on a directory?

#2412 can probably solve part of what you want, even though it's not recursive search
