what URL format that mssql accepts to connect a sqlserver?

[yadongyaly]

I am working on TypeScript project, trying to use windows.open(URL, _self) to connect a database with VSC mssql extension, but I cannot find a correct URL format that mssql extension accepts.

For example, I tried this:
const URL = vscode://ms-mssql.mssql//connect?server=${server}&database=${database}&authenticationType=AzureMFA;
window.open(URL, "_self");

After running, the vscode app pops out a windows saying "do you want to open this URL with mssql extension, and I clicked yes. However, nothing happens after that.

There is an example of opening Azure Data Studio, it works well, I am looking for something similar with VSC mssql extension.
const URL = azuredatastudio://openConnectionDialog?server=${server}&database=${database}&authenticationType=AzureMFA;

The URI handlers are implemented in the extension side, so don't have anything to do directly with SqlToolsService.
